We can see it in UserGuide.lyx at C.1.1.1

        stdmenus.inc specifies the menu entries for the standard menus

The latex code is
        \item [{stdmenus.inc}] \textit{\emph{specifies the menu entries for the 
standard menus}}

But what is more irritating is the pdf output, which shows the same behavior.
So \textit and \emph seem to neutralize each other?

Doesn't \emph by default use italics? And then it makes sense to me that it cancels out. Consider a longer passage that is set in italics. It makes sense to have emphasises to work that way you describe to make it stand out. I think it's the same with theorem environment that are typeset in italics by default and emphasis works against it. However, if you redefine \emph to be bold, like

\DeclareTextFontCommand{\emph}{\bfseries}

it stops doing that.
