Research direction
Start with the example in the issue and inspect the math kerning behavior for overline and underline constructs, using issue #4695 as context. Compare the spacing of V_y, overline(V)_y, and underline(V)_y, then verify that kerning is applied consistently when the decorated character is the base.
