Please provide a _complete_ example starting from emacs -Q, and state
what version of Emacs you are using.

The following works for me in 22.3, 23.1, 23.2, emacs-23 branch, and trunk:

cat 1.el:

(font-lock-add-keywords 'sh-mode
                        '(("##+ \\(.+\\)$" 1 'underline prepend)))

cat foo.sh:

# single
## double


emacs -Q -l ./1.el ./foo.sh 

"double" is underlined and red.
