This issue is noticeable with any face properties for 'org-priority'
such as box, background, underline, overline.

Just to add a reproducible recipe for this case.

On 'emacs -Q' running Org 9.4:

+ C-x C-f /tmp/test.org
+ Insert a heading, like:

    * TODO [#A] This is a test

…see attached screenshot with "default" state.

* Now evaluate the following expression:

    (set-face-attribute 'org-priority nil :underline t)

…see attached screenshot with "edited" state.
