Hmm, yea, I see -- it's part of large original docx, so it was failing on another element styled as Example & had italics applied.
I printed the div in Lua filter, when it works I see this:

```

Div ("",[],[("custom-style","Example")]) [Para [Str "Test",Space,Str "example"]]

```

and when fails this:
```

Div ("",[],[("custom-style","Example")]) [BlockQuote [Para [Emph [Str "Example:"]]]]

```


is there any clean way to approach this so it will work in a generic way and preserve any other formatting applied?

With your examples, I get:

## Scope

<div custom-style="Body Text">

Test body

</div>

## Test nested
