Autogenerate key don't work well with emphasized titles

<ebib-generate-autokey> doesn't seem to work well with emphasized titles. I'm pasting below the entries generated by <ebib>. Notice that the entries keys damico:_cumbia_music_colom and fernández:_cumbia are using the three words from his titles. arévalo:_pa_marion and alarcón, with emphasized titles, use some or none of the words from his titles.

The absence of year in the entries keys was related in the issue 136 - Autogenerate key doesn't use the date field.

The <ebib-set-dialect> is set to <biblatex>.

@InCollection{damico:_cumbia_music_colom,
	chapter = {1},
	subtitle = {Origins, Transformations, and Evolution of a Coastal Music Genre},
	pages = {29--48},
	crossref = {fernández:_cumbia},
	title = {Cumbia Music in Colombia},
	author = {Leonardo D'Amico}
}

@InCollection{arévalo:_pa_marion,
	chapter = {2},
	pages = {49--86},
	subtitle = {La Cumbiamba Eneyé Returns to San Jacinto},
	crossref = {fernández:_cumbia},
	title = {\emph{¿Pa' dónde vas Marioneta? ¿Pa' dónde va la gaita?}},
	author = {Arévalo Mateus, Jorge and Martín Vejarano}
}

@InCollection{alarcón,
	crossref = {fernández:_cumbia},
	pages = {213--225},
	chapter = {9},
	title = {\emph{Feliz}, \emph{feliz}},
	author = {Cristian Alarcón}
}

@Collection{fernández:_cumbia,
	editor = {Fernández L'Hoeste, Héctor and Pablo Vila},
	title = {Cumbia!},
	date = {2013-05-29},
	subtitle = {scenes of a migrant Latin American music genre},
	publisher = {Duke University Press},
	location = {Durham},
	isbn = {978-0-8223-5433-8},
	pagetotal = {312}
}

EDIT: Informed that I'm using biblatex dialect.

ebib-generate-autokey basically calls bibtex-generate-autokey to create the key, so any bugs with this mechanism are bugs in bibtex.el, which I unfortunately cannot fix.

The absence of year in the entries keys was related in #136.

That's basically for the same reason: bibtex.el is not doing things correctly. This should be reported as a bug in Emacs, which I intend to do later today.

Thanks for the explanation. So I think that I have to wait for the fix upstream (or manually create the entry keys). (Should I mark the issue as closed?)
