Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
The functions of package underline region doesn't check whether it's
operations will work in the user's terminal or GUI environment. When I
try using the feature in emacs-nox, it replaces the region with
what is for that environment interleaved garbage in the form of "_\b".
I'm not sure what is the scope of the intent of the package, but for
non-persistent use, it could use overlays with an underline face.
At the very least, the feature should check the environment, and abort
upon detecting incompatability.

AFAIU, this package does that 100% intentionally.

I believe so too: it's a kind of backspace overstriking referred to by
termcap/nroff/ul. A variation is often seen in the output of fortune.
