There is no bug here.

You have some settings defined on *paragraph* level: text background,
strike-out, underline, character style. They define character look and feel,
but - again - are defined on the *paragraph* level.

Applying any style only clears DF *on its level*; and *only that formatting
that is defined in the style*.

Applying a paragraph style clears all DF *on paragraph level* - because PS
always defines *all* paragraph formatting.

Applying a character style clears the DF *for settings defined in the CF*; and
only that *defined on the character level*. (The visual result would be as if
paragraph-level setting is replaced - but not because paragraph-level DF was
cleared, but because it was overridden.)

Since CS *only* defined some settings, and not all, that relate to character
appearance and behaviour, it's normal to see that all settings not defined in
"Example" SC are still taken from paragraph level. Even if they were defined on
character level, they wouldn't be cleared either, because - well, as I said,
only properties defined in style are cleared from DF for the affected text run.
