Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there's
any bug here :

The .ul internal command draw an underline when possible,
and use italics when it's not possible. For example, on a
terminal without underlining capabilities, italics are used.

.us is just an example of an handmade underlining
macro, which is not expected to be implemented in all the
macro sets.

Cheers,

Pierre-Jean.
