It is already configurable through terminfo. If you want italics and
standout to work properly, use what's in the FAQ [1]:

] To make applications aware that tmux supports italics and to use a proper
] escape sequence for standout, you'll need to create a new terminfo file with
] modified sgr, smso, rmso, sitm and ritm entries:
]
]       $ mkdir $HOME/.terminfo/
]       $ screen_terminfo="screen"
]       $ infocmp "$screen_terminfo" | sed \
]         -e 's/^screen[^|]*|[^,]*,/screen-it|screen with italics support,/' \
]         -e 's/%?%p1%t;3%/%?%p1%t;7%/' \
]         -e 's/smso=[^,]*,/smso=\\E[7m,/' \
]         -e 's/rmso=[^,]*,/rmso=\\E[27m,/' \
]         -e '$s/$/ sitm=\\E[3m, ritm=\\E[23m,/' > /tmp/screen.terminfo
]       $ tic /tmp/screen.terminfo
]
] And tell tmux to use it in ~/.tmux.conf:
]       
]       set -g default-terminal "screen-it"

If you want reverse video *always*, then just fix screen's standout, but don't
add sitm and ritm (remove the "-e '$s/$/ sitm=\\E[3m, ritm=\\E[23m,/'" above),
or add them with \E[7m and \E[27m instead.

The problem isn't in the feature, but in screen's terminfo, which swaps reverse
video and italics for no good reason (that I know of ;)). tmux used to
force reverse over italics because of this, and now it doesn't anymore.

>   0 4 # infocmp screen | g 'sitm|bce'

Applications aren't asking for sitm, they're asking for standout through
smso or sgr, but are getting \E[3m when they should be getting \E[7m.

Try 

$ infocmp screen | grep -o '\(smso\|sgr\)=[^,]*,'

and you'll see the problem (3s instead of 7s).
