The non-compositionality of LaTeX macro packages is well-known.  Every 
change on our side inevitably breaks someones setup -- I knew this only 
too well when embarking again on the long-standing copy/paste problem.

If anybody can tell me what is wrong on my side, I can amend that.

Yesterday I spent some hours with ulem.sty and got the impression that it 
is not fully canonical.  I did not notice that its last update is already 
10 years ago -- I have the same version from 2000-05-26.
