This is correct and I believe intended. I appreciate this feature for
what it is and find it very useful.

These are the options if you want to use \e[2m within the prompt:
1. A static PS1 with \e[2m embedded directly in the value without indirection.
2. The same as above but the value of PS1 is set in precmd and thus
can change from command to command.
3. prompt_subst
There are no other options that I'm aware of.
