With xetex \underbrace use internally the commands \bracelu,
\braceld and they simply don't give the correct glyphs with a
unicode-math font. That's certainly a problem unicode-math should
correct somehow (I don't know if the needed glyphs exists in the
fonts).

With luatex \underbrace seems to use \luatexUdelimiterunder, but I
don't know if the fact that the brace is above instead of below the
numbers indicates a luatex bug or wrong use of the luatex command on
the side of unicode-math.
