Hans,

I am not sure I understand the need for symstyle and symcolor. The issue 
is not that the symbols are not styled/colored, but that they do not 
appear at all when a non-normal style is specified. What I see with the 
example I posted is:

and I assume that Sander saw a similar issue.

Note that there are no square brackets present as defined for layer 2.

I realize that style=normal for level 3 should perhaps be style=\tf, 
since normal is redefined to slanted within the scope of layer 2. With 
that change to my example, I get

This still has the lack of square brackets, and now in addition lacks 
curly braces for level 3.

If your fix is meant to repair that, all is well. If not, could you 
explain why “it's deliberate and has always been the case in mkiv”?
