The reason is that mathed supports font changing for one character at
a time only. Changing that would probably require major work.

What happens is that mathed has a special handling for these macros
and may not agree with you on the way of using it. I do not know how
difficult this would be to solve.
I think this shows the limit of trying to display arbitrary LaTeX in a
WYSIWIM way. For every feature that one will fix, somebody will come
up with a case where it does not work...
