This problem is already in the bugtracker, bug#6192, which remains open.
Admittedly, that report is titled "eldoc-mode: unexpected recentering",
and the bold face problem only came out in the course of the discussion
(cf. your summary at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2010-05/msg00368.html),
so it is probably indeed worth filing a separate report about it.
