When the cross-reference format uses multiple character formats, the book's Generate/Update function ignores the first one. (This applies to FM5 through FM8). Workaround: Create a single character format that has all the properties you need, and modify the cross-reference format accordingly. For example: Define a "Link" character format that sets both blue and italic, and modify the cross-reference format to <Link><$paratext>....
