This is bug 71481.
See bug 71481 comment 16 and bug 71481 comment 18.

In the case when the words A and B are both direct-formatted, and the italics
of word B comes from  character run properties, not paragraph, this could (and
likely should) be improved. But note how really complex Writer's formatting
layers/rules are; so given that character formatting may come from:

1. Paragraph style (applied to the paragraph directly, or from a style that
this style inherits from);
2. Paragraph direct formatting;
3. Character style;
4. Character direct formatting, with additional differences when it spans over
the whole paragraph or not;

and that no italics may be either "no explicit setting for italics", and
"italics explicitly disabled", which are really different options, I can only
quote myself:

This implies, by the way, that this issue should only focus on "bug 1".
