Jep, thats a known limitation. This is caused by the fact that the style
information goes through a series of transformation steps during display that
makes it hard to recover the original style information from the displayed
text. Unfortunately, the existing implementation however quotes the displayed
text rather than the original text. Repairing this takes more time than one
would. It's on the list, but other things have higher prio.

Regards,
Tim
