You can customize the `button' face. The formatting is shared with all
other links, eg those in Help buffers. Hopefully now (as of 24.1) they
use overlays links in M-x man will be more consistently visible.

If I view abort(3) in Emacs 23.2.91 on my GNU/Linux system, I get a line

       #include <stdlib.h>

where the space between “include” and “<stdlib.h>” is shown underlined.
None of the rest of the text is underlined. This does not happen in an
xterm, and the markup is:

\fB#include <stdlib.h>

which looks fine.

To reproduce, from emacs -Q: M-x man abort RET
