The nodes are probably accidentally being converted to strings:

Python 2.4.1 (#1, May  7 2005, 18:37:22)
[GCC 3.3.5-20050130 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.5.20050130-r1, ssp-3.3.5.20050130-1, pie- on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> emphasis = nodes.emphasis('', 'foo bar')
>>> str(emphasis)
'<emphasis>foo bar</emphasis>'
