You don't say which XSL-FO processor you are using, but a visual 
inspection of your code indicates it should only be adding the 
TextBold attributes to the matched string and not to the block.

This is often a problem "up-stream" where you are inadvertently doing 
two <xsl:apply-templates/> without realizing it ... perhaps because 
of engaging a built-in template rule.  I've also seen messed up table 
contents when the table structures themselves are not properly nested.

For both situations it will help to visually inspect the resulting 
XSL-FO markup.  Perhaps due to property-to-trait inheritance some 
ancestral setting of values is being picked up.

If the XSL-FO instance is too dense, then use an indenting stylesheet 
(example below) to create a version that is easier to read.

I hope this helps ... looking at your code quickly nothing seems 
obvious to me.  Perhaps if you created a working stylesheet with just 
these template rules and run it on the data the results may be 
obvious.  If not then you can post the mini working environment so 
that volunteers don't have to recreate it each time.

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
                version="1.0">

<xsl:output indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/"><xsl:copy-of select="."/></xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
