[OS X TeX] nested \emph problem with gtamachoefler

I am puzzled. I have the following:

{`The aim of this research' --- \emph{Note: the thesis does not itself 
devise the solution (you did that) rather the thesis \emph{documents} 
the solution}}

The text appears within a longtable environment. What is puzzling me is 
that all the text following the em-dash is set in italics; I was 
expecting the word 'document's to be set in Roman script owing to the 
nested \emph commands.

I have tried the code in the main body of the document (ie outside the 
longtable) and the effect is the same.

I think it may be a problem with gtamachoefler. I used the following 
font setup:

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{pifont,manfnt,dingbat}
\usepackage{gtamachoefler}

However, when I switched from hoefler to didot with gill sans for sf:

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{pifont,manfnt,dingbat}
\usepackage{gtamacdidot}
\usepackage{gtamacgillsans}

The double \emph performs as it should

Any thoughts?

Paul
