Fixed, somewhat.

I think `org-check-before-invisible-edit' deserves some discussion about
its specifications. As-is, it contains logic errors. For example, if you
try to edit text near invisible text and you happen to have invisible
custom properties somewhere else in the buffer, the properties are going
to be made visible but not the invisible text at point.

I would be happy to fix this, but need to think about what is expected,
e.g. when we are editing something near an invisible link or, as in your
example, sub/superscript.
