Hi Norbert,
When I tried to use
/usr/share/doc/vim/macros/less.sh
as described in ':help less' and set my PAGER variable I saw many
underscore characters were not displayed correctly when I tried to view
a man page.
I confirmed on irc.freenode.net's #vim that at least two other people
have this same problem with more recent versions of vim. They thought
it was working in older versions. I am guessing this is an upstream bug
in newer versions of vim.
Thanks,

Vim is simply displaying what is being given to it. From a quick look at
viewing a man page with Vim, it looks like "_^Ha" is how an underlined a is
output from nroff (or whatever set of tools process the man page before
feeding it to the pager). This is likely something that other actual pagers
are designed to handle. Vim's less.sh is a quick hack to exhibit ways that
Vim can be used, not a complete replacement for normal pagers.
