Underlines have become too close to text when it's small, such as "Home | New | Search" links on this Bugzilla page.

It looks arguably worse than before on Retina screens, but on non-Retina ones, it's undeniably bad, as underlines touch the text.

It is even worse for Japanese (and other CJK) text - some part of the underline is missing, or crosses into characters.

Character crossing is not a regression of subpixel layout (I can repro that with Safari on Mac OS X 10.9) but the missing underline indeed is.

Please file another bug for missing underline / crossing underline. You can assign it to me.
