The current draft of the spec for text-underline-position:under says:

"The underline is positioned under the element’s text content."

Shouldn't the behavior be based off text-decoration-skip's value rather than only including text content? I would think that if text-decoration-skip is set to none that you would want text-underline-position:under to be underneath replaced content like images as well as text.

Similarly if the text-decoration-skip value is set to "spaces", and one of the skipped spaces happens to be lower than everything else (contrived I know), I would not expect text-underline-position:under to include the space when considering where the bottom of the text content is.
