Confirmed

org-element-context does return nested emphasis, so it is certainly
possible to combine composite styles (at least, during export).
Fontification code does not work with elements though and I do not see
an easy way to change it.

Rewriting fontification using org-element API would eliminate this type
of issues.  However, I am not sure about performance (maybe with
org-element-cache?).

Best,
Ihor
