I have no experience with Enriched mode but I read this from [1]:

    Enriched mode is typically used with Text mode (see Text Mode). It
    is not compatible with Font Lock mode, which is used by many major
    modes, including most programming language modes, for syntax
    highlighting (see Font Lock). Unlike Enriched mode, Font Lock mode
    assigns text properties automatically, based on the current buffer
    contents; those properties are not saved to disk.

So if the "bolded-colored" text is a font lock thing, it will not be
saved to disc. Could that be it?
