Indeed, this somehow escaped my tests.  You get the same `bad' result
if you use the .rj request, BTW.  Reason is that register \n[.k]
doesn't get the correct values assigned before and after a line
centered or right justified with .ce or .rj, respectively.  In both
cases, \n[.k] is zero.

On the other hand, saying

  .ad c

works.

I think this is the solution to go, and I'll implement it if I have
time: Use an ms-like underlining macro if either .ce or .rj is active.
