Yes. Thank You.

Use

#+begin_src emacs-lisp 
(setq org-fontify-emphasized-text nil)
#+end_src

to fix this. Note that an emacs restart is needed. See (info "(org) Emphasis and Monospace").

You might complain about the wording that suggests that only exports are affected, but I am not sure that claiming the behavior per se is a bug will get much traction.

HTH,
