Variables and Character Formats

I'm having a problem with applying a Character Tag to certain Variables. Some of my Heading styles appear in all Uppercase. However, internal standards require that certain product names always appear in a mix of Uppercase and Lowercase (eg, SonixTouch). To handle this, I create my product Variables as follows:

S<F-lowercase>onix</>T<F-lowercase>ouch</>

This is fine for product Variables that never require the application of a Char Tag. But some product Variables are sometimes required to be Bold, Italic, eg, SonixRemote: S<F-lowercase)>onix</>R<F-lowercase>emote</>

After applying the Char Tag for Bold, Italic, at some point (during Update Book?) part of the Char Tag is lost so instead of SonixRemote I get SonixRemote. I'm sure my mistake is something reasonably simple, but I have no idea how to fix this.

Any suggestions?
