Actually, those examples work correctly :-) The three words are in bold, the right apostrophes appear and the last "blah" is italics.
I think bold normally works fine, it's italics that are a problem because "apostrophe-italic" looks just like "bold". "apostrophe-bold" doesn't look like anything else.
Err, yeah, that's probably what I meant. Replace my 4-apostrophes with 3-apostrophes above, and the 3s with 2s.
Here are two sentences to demonstrate the fragility of the current system:
L''''amore''' e blah blah l'''informazione'' oeui ...
(works)
L''''amore''' e blah blah del'''informazione'' oeui ...
(explodes, turning the very first set of 4 apostrophes into two apostrophes and italics...)
