      I see that in
    an xterm that doesn't have underlining, the button face has a magenta
    foreground (and in one that does, it keeps it's default colour - how clever is
    that!).

I suspect this cleverness is done by xterm, not by Emacs.  There is
nothing in xterm.el which would do it.  It could be that the terminfo
entry for `xterm' specifies a command for underlining, and then
`xterm' implements that as magenta when it can't implement that as
underlining.

You can probably see what's going on if you make a termscript file for
the same Emacs command sequence in both kinds of xterm.  Are they
different?
