It seems punctuation character class is too broad. E.g.
¿ INVERTED QUESTION MARK
normally appears before words, while "?" is usually after them. I do not
see anything special in
(category-set-mnemonics (char-category-set ?¿))
that may help to discriminate such cases.
An example that confuses fontification but not parser:
: false [[http://te.st/dir?b-=&a=-][verbatim]] fontification
It is a simplified example, original one:

Origin of such expectation is not only TeX that changes category of
characters for argument of verbatim commands. In markdown links and code
have higher priorities than emphasis as well:
echo 'A _b `c_ d` e_ f' | pandoc -f markdown -t html -
<p>A <em>b <code>c_ d</code> e</em> f</p>
Org:
A _b =c_ d= e_ f
export result (it is more concise and easier to read than output of
`org-element-parse-secondary-string'):
<p>
A <span class="underline">b =c</span> d= e_ f
</p>
Link in markdown:
echo 'A _b c <https://orgmode.org/index.htm_?k=v> d e_ f' \
| pandoc -f markdown -t html -
<p>A <em>b c <a href="https://orgmode.org/index.htm_?k=v"
class="uri">https://orgmode.org/index.htm_?k=v</a> d e</em> f</p>
Org:
<p>
A <span class="underline">b /c <<a
href="https://orgmode.org/index.htm">https://orgmode.org/index.htm</a></span>?k=v>
d/ e_ f
</p>
I can not estimate efforts necessary to implement priorities of objects
(verbatim - link - emphasis) in org-elements parser since I have not
looked into its code. Comparing the following snippets, I might naively
expect some kind of backtracking:
- A /b *c +d e+ f* g/ h
- A /b *c +d f* e+ h
I admit that I can be wrong and "first wins" approach handles buffer of
incomplete parsed entities in a different way.
P.S. In reStructured text simple nesting is not allowed, maybe it is
possible to use replacements.
