Steps to reproduce:
Enter org mode (I am on cc2490a7061955395c4f5a1a23a088044554a2f7)
Type *bold* *bold* *bold*
Notice that the second instance is not bolded while the first and third
are.

This doesn't occur if there is normal text between the text with
emphasis markers. It shows for all of /italics/, *bold*, _underline_,
and +strikethrough+

Confirmed.

Thanks for reporting! The problem was introduced in fa315986a.

This particular issues can be fixed by
-                (goto-char (match-end 0))
+                (goto-char (match-beginning 5))

However, I afraid that the whole fa315986a idea may not be useful.
Moving to the end of emphasis upon fontification will break any kind of
nesting (like *bold /italic end bold* end italic/). This is probably
more severe compared to arcane scenario in
https://orgmode.org/list/87fsujp7mc.fsf@web.de

Best,
Ihor

Should be fixed now.
