You also need to customize org-emphasis-alist.

<soapbox>

Not sure whether this qualifies as a bug or not. It probably does but
even so, it's unlikely to be fixed and that's probably a *good* thing:
IMNSHO, these interfaces are about the clunkiest to be found in org: they
are very "heavy" for the result they produce.

I hope the new exporter will clean up this area, even at the price of
backward incompatibility (says he, knowing that any such will not affect
him :-])
