There is a use case: citations. If you have a citation containing
emphasized text and you want to emphasize the whole passage, the
previously emphasize text should be de-emphasized, as per standard
typographic rules. This use case most often occurs, to me at list,
with book titles.
Good one! This is pretty much the same as JMarc's explanation: What one
actually wants here is \emph inside \emph, but LyX doesn't do that.
I do agree, though, that the use case is rare enough.
Yes, and easy to work around.
