I am not sure if  it is an actual issue.

Note that (_u can be interpreted as a subscript.
Org prioritises subscript over underline.

Looking at the code:

(?_ (or (and (memq 'subscript restriction)
	   (org-element-subscript-parser))
      (and (memq 'underline restriction)
	   (org-element-underline-parser))))

The priority appears to be intentional.

Unless Nicolas (the author of this code) sees anything wrong here, I
recommend you to use zero-width space in front of the first _ to make
sure that you obtain underline, not subscripts (see
https://orgmode.org/manual/Escape-Character.html#Escape-Character)

P.S.
Note that the fontification you observe in Org is wrong. It is not how
the actual exporter sees the text. I am sorry about this. Fixing the
fontification is a work-in-progress.

Best,
Ihor
