https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%A7%D9%88%D9%8A%D9%83%D9%8A:Common.css includes the following rules:

/*[[قالب:قول]] وغيره*/
i>b,b>i{font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;display:inline-block}
i>b::before,b>i::before,.quot::before{content:open-quote;}
i>b::after,b>i::after,.quot::after{content:close-quote;}

So, yes, nested bold and italic is neither bold nor italic and has double quotes at the start and the end, but this is local CSS problem, not a bug in MediaWiki.

Garrr. Big thanks to @Schnark for investigating, and I am sorry for my editing collision here.

@alanajjar: On an unrelated note, ar.wikipedia.org shos many errors in the Developer Tools of anybody's web browser. The Arabic Wikipedia community must fix these errors in their local gadgets' code:
