Confirmed.

Thanks for reporting! The problem was introduced in fa315986a.

This particular issues can be fixed by
-                (goto-char (match-end 0))
+                (goto-char (match-beginning 5))

However, I afraid that the whole fa315986a idea may not be useful.
Moving to the end of emphasis upon fontification will break any kind of
nesting (like *bold /italic end bold* end italic/). This is probably
more severe compared to arcane scenario in
