Your post prompts me to think of a real world example where this AT behaviour might cause problems. In user documentation, it is common to underline the letter that activates a menu or other screen control in conjunction with a modifier key: e.g. "Use the Print Pre<u>v</u>iew menu to see what your file will look like" (or one could better use a styled span to achieve same). I agree with others that it is very frustrating to try and make things better/more usable for people and be tripped up by unexpected or unwanted behaviours.
