quote /qt within words of Jesus /wj not working (v9.5)

I see that there was a bug in v7 (at least) which prevented formatting quotes (italics) as words of Jesus (red). But I'm also not able to do it now in v9.5. I've tried putting the markers in every order but it seems it's not possible to have a quote which is also words of Jesus. Am I doing something wrong? Is this a feature or a bug? Is there a workaround?

When you have a character style "nested" inside of another character style, you must use a + after the backslash. So that you might have something like the following:

\q1 \v 3 \qt \+wj «Afortunados los que reconocen su necesidad espiritual,\+wj*\qt*
