(NB: i haven’t read the discussions linked)

When I see that happen, it is usually helpful and intended, e.g.: bold & italics text, quoting, etc.

but sometimes it would be unintentional result, like mask for unprintable word (e.g. a**le ju**e → ale jue), so they should be as-is

Technically you’re right, but I don’t remember seeing this kind of problems, it must be quite rare (from my point of view).
