Sorry, Hans—I had thought that it would be very complicated to produce one,
but actually it was easy:

\usemodule[simplefonts]

\setmainfont[Antykwa-Poltawskiego][protrusion=pure,
expansion=quality,
mode=node,
              script=latn,
smallcaps]

\setupalign[hanging,hz]

\starttext

\underbar{\dorecurse{5}{\input knuth}}

\stoptext

Note from the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/overstrike):

If you are using microtypography with \setupalign[hz,hanging], then with
some fonts the rule may end up off-target, above the characters instead of
through them. (The problem was experienced with Linux Libertine and mkiv,
and not with Latin Modern.) The workarounds are:

   - Put the overstriked text in a \inframed[frame=off]{}.

As with \overstrike, with \underbar “off target” can mean “nowhere”.

\underbar and Latin Modern witrh microtypography works but not \underbar
and Antykwa-Poltawskiego—unless one turns off microtypography.

So, if I must use \inframed—can I get it to allow for proper
linebreaking/paragraphing?
