Sorry for the confusion; I meant that the problem appeared no later than that
revision (there are usually many revisions between my Emacs builds).

Now I'm sure I didn't do it right; when I have time I'll try to do a
proper bisection.

It also works to put `Emacs.FontBackend: xft' in ~/.Xresources. Yet
that wasn't necessary before whichever change between revisions 109704
and 109818 made italics show up as underlined even when setting
default-frame-alist in my init file as above. I hope I have time to
track down which revision is responsible.
