This is not a bug. You just gave Org ambiguous markup and Org resolved
the ambiguity in a way you did not expect.
/Open the file {{{Pathname(/ bashrc)}}}/ could be parsed in two ways
<italics>Open the file <macro>Pathname(/ bashrc)<end macro><end italics>
or
<italics>Open the file {{{Pathname(<end italics> bashrc)}}}/
Org happens to use "first matching markup wins" rule, leading to what
you have observed.
You can resolve such ambiguity in two ways:
1. Use zero-width space, as we suggest in
https://orgmode.org/manual/Escape-Character.html
2. Use \slash entity to specify slash explicitly where you do not want
it to be treated as markup delimiter.
Canceled.
