Why isn't the whole button underlined, just the space in the middle?

Why don't the "see also" links at the end of the very same page have
any visible underlining?

Answering myself: because the links are made with `make-text-button',
and it seems since it adds the button face as a text property, it
loses out to any existing text properties (bold in this case).

This seems a bit poor, doesn't it?

`make-button', using overlays, doesn't suffer from this.
