No. Between the output of both examples. Releases may differ in
behaviour of course :)

They do not look reasonable to me. But I found it. In the 1.72.0
release, the mode="bold" template used

"&#x2593;fB"

to avoid the substitution (by the substitution map). This explains the
different behaviour. It would have been nice to announce it in the
Release Notes. But I cannot find a special note there.
