See if

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/73036/match=org+emphasis+regexp+components

can help make some sense out of the line noise (although it was
triggered by a different question). I believe the problem here is
the BORDER regexp (the one that goes

" 	
,\"'"

above), not the BODY one: it forbids newlines, commas, double
and single quotes. Try deleting the single quote from it.
