That's correct for the linux console, but underlining _does_ work
properly on xterm (and on every other X terminal emulator  I've
tried).

As it seems unlikely for terminfo to be changed anytime soon (and
broken installations would remain for a long time anyway), it seems
that Emacs just needs to special-case the terminal name "linux" to
reflect that underlining isn't supported there.

Currently there doesn't seem to be a mechanism for overriding the
low-level C terminal code from lisp though.
