text-decoration does not carry like it should to child elements when those child
elements are absolute position. When the children are relative (or anything
else) they are correctly modified.

Reproducible: Always

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

# When specified on an inline element, ['text-decoration'] affects all the boxes 
# generated by that element; for all other elements, the decorations are 
# propagated to an anonymous inline box that wraps all the in-flow inline 
# children of the element, and to any block-level in-flow descendants. It is not,
# however, further propagated to floating and absolutely positioned descendants, 
# nor to the contents of 'inline-table' and 'inline-block' descendants.
