Dave,
I recommend that you go to Options -> Writing and uncheck the "WordPress 
should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically" option and save 
your options.  While this is a handy feature for newcomers to XHTML who 
might forget to close an element, it is far from perfect, and just ends 
up hindering users who want to use more advanced (yet valid) XHTML 
markup, like you.  The only caveat is that you should always check your 
entry to make sure you didn't forget to close an <em> and italicized 
your entire front page.  While we should work to make the XHTML 
correcting code better, it might be good for someone to make a plugin 
that checks for validity, but notifies you of errors, instead of 
attempting to fix it.
