My point was/is that is defined that way. Whether it is not working
for some font backend / font combination is another issue altogether
(a bug, to be precise).

If the italicised font cannot be distinguished from the normal one,
reverting to uppercase it's the safe thing.

There are lots of fixed width fonts. DejaVu Sans Mono, for example, is
increasingly popular (and it works OK with this feature).

If you have a font which looks the same in italicised and
non-italicised forms, but it is different according to
`face-differs-from-default-p', that's not a bug in help argument
highlighting; it could creep up in other places.

It is already clear that it is a feature you don't like, but I find it
a bit insulting that you keep referring to it as a "bug".
