Somewhere in-between. It's broken, editing sub/super-script can be very
tedious, but the proper behaviour is yet to be defined. The proof is all
the possible values for `org-catch-invisible-edits' (which is mostly
focused on preventing edition of folded contents, and is unrelated to
invisible text like links and sub/super-script).

Maybe brackets in sub/super-scripts not be made invisible, only
minified.

What do you expect instead?
