I think that this is a 'known' issue, and not easy to get right.  One thing
you can try (and report back, since I've meant to do it to try to solve this
very problem), is to customize org-emphasis-regexp-components.  If I'm not
mistaken, it exists to help users troubleshoot this kind of thing.  It would
be great if we could manage to get this working.
