Ah, I know what that is.
In markdown, an underscore either side of a word creates italics.
The markdown is processed before the mentions are processed, and so by virtue of that any username that contains characters that could be reasonably parsed as Markdown... are parsed as Markdown.
Hence, when it renders @dan appears italicised.
