st currently does not keep any mode for the cursor that was active
in the underlying glyph (e.g. italic text), the mode is always
ATTR_NULL [1]. At [2] you can find a screenshot that shows the
implications. Other terminals (at least vte-based, such as
XFCE-terminal) keep some modes for the cursor. I find the current
behaviour very disruptive, so here is a patch that keeps a few
(arbitrarily chosen) modes for the cursor.
