Hmm. I do find it sometimes needs to be "poked" a few times to really
take -- sometimes reloading org more than once, or calling "org-mode" in
a buffer that's already org-mode. Often hitting M-q to refill the
paragraph is enough to do the trick.

It won't show the italic over even a single line break?
