(I'm going through old Emacs bug reports that unfortunately got no
response at the time.)

If a bug is monospaced, then the bold version is supposed to be of the
same width as the unbolded version.  However, Emacs has support for
variable-width fonts, so this should be no problem.

Are you still seeing these overlapping fonts in modern Emacs versions?
