Don't think so - this version has a migration from GConf to GSettings
for settings storage so the value may have been lost for you there. If
so, that'd be a bug. I'll make a note to try this out.

I think this is a general issue/feature in Unity. For me, the underlines
appear if I press Alt-F, release, then press the down arrow or mouse
over the dropdown. I see the same in other applications too though, for
example Firefox.

Title:
  Alt keys for menu access do not work

Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After upgrading to Vivid, Terminal no longer accepts any Alt menu
  shortcuts.

  To reproduce, start up Terminal and give it the focus.  When you hit
  and hold Alt, you'll see the application menu show up in the global
  menu bar, but none of the menus or items have underlines, and all of
  the Alt shortcuts are non-functional.
