Any wiki markup appears to render in order from left to right, take effect at the opening code, and end at either closing code or paragraph, so closing code is effectively unnecessary if the end of a paragraph accomplishes the same result:

Yes, except for the special rules for "apostrophe-italic" sequences.
This works: L'''amour'' est un oiseau rebel. ''italics test''<br>
This doesn't: L'''amour'' est un oiseau rebel. ''italics test<br>

Incidentally, you talk about "any wiki markup". I don't think you can generalise that much: how much wikitext formatting is there really apart from bold and italics? <code> doesn't work as you describe, for instance.
