Your terminal emulator might be converting the other text states to bold 
too.  (I mean the terminal-states, which don't always match up exactly with
what the actual display can do -- at least when people were using CRTs with
actual hardware text mode.  I realize that's not relevant for xterm, but
basically the problem is out of alpine's field.)
