I see this at https://ro.yahoo.com/ when I hover over "Sign in", but I don't see it on the US version.

There's an underline specified on both the a element and the b element inside it.  The b element has 'vertical-align: middle', which puts it at a different vertical position.  Thus the two underlines show up at different vertical positions.  This seems like correct behavior on Gecko's part.

I haven't looked into whether they send the same CSS to other browsers.

I did the same poking in Chrome's inspector, and Chrome does also get both underlines and the vertical-align: middle.  The vertical-align: middle does also cause a position difference.  But the two underlines are both drawn, and draw on top of each other.
