But not that the \boldmath is written outside of mathmode, so it cannot be
supported by mathed (of course, it can appear in an \mbox inside mathmode,
but you cannot support any latex code that appear in an \mbox).
What you do want to support is the \boldmath or \bm commands (see below).

Why you use the above definition and not
\newcommand{\bmath}[1]{\mbox{\boldmath$#1$\unboldmath}}
?
But a better option is to use \boldsymbol from amsmath.sty,
or even better, \bm from bm.sty
