Yes, with the feeling that:
1) it would be infrequent
2) we would try to fix it when/if it happened
So now we're on 2) time :)
AFAICS, you have (at least) three options:
- redefine or advise `help-default-arg-highlight' in your .emacs to do
other kind of highlighting
- (variant of the above): lobby to have a customizable face for arg
highlighting, defaulting to the italic face. That should work for you.
- think of a way we can detect setups like yours so we can do a better
`help-default-arg-highlight' (I tried `face-differs-from-default-p',
without success)

I couldn't agree more; redefining a function is too ugly a way to
customize anything (IMHO, etc.).
But RMS felt that few users would want to change the default
highlighting anyway, and Emacs already has too many options for
micro-features.
