The problem occurs in X11 builds on GNU/Linux too.

With a small font the underwave line turns into a dashed line.
For example, with the following small fonts it looks like

-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1

PNG image

-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso8859-1

PNG image

Only with a bigger font, it looks like a wave:

-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso8859-1

PNG image

However, the proposed patch provides much better graceful degradation,
where even with small fonts the line looks like a wave, for example:

-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1

PNG image

-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso8859-1

PNG image

-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso8859-1

I believe this confirms the patch is an improvement.
