Hmmm, odd. You might want to try changing your font-lock-support-mode
or configuring highlighting so that it's not so... enthusiastic... ^_^
I use jit-lock-mode, which seems to be okay over here. Making
emacs-wiki-highlight-emphasized a blank function might also be helpful.

Not related to highlighting, but a publishing workaround: Since I
don't use *bold* to highlight bold text, I turn off automatic markup
for that...

;;;_+ Don't automatically markup words

(setq emacs-wiki-publishing-markup
      (delq    ;; emphasized or literal text
       
'["\\(^\\|[-[[:space:]<('`\"]\\)\\(=[^=[:space:]]\\|_[^_[:space:]]\\|\\*+[^*[:space:]]\\)"
         2 emacs-wiki-markup-word]
       emacs-wiki-publishing-markup))
(defadvice emacs-wiki-markup-word (around sacha activate)
  ;; Do nothing
  )
