In our last episode, the evil Dr. Lacto had captured our hero,
  Aaron Ecay <aaronecay@gmail.com>, who said:

This doesn't work for me. :(

It works to the left of the zwj, such as
=foo=\zwj{}bar

...but not to the right as you did above.

It's hard to read the value I have for org-emphasis-regexp-components
but it looks like } is in there, so I guess it should be working?
