This is not expected behavior.  Both should be boldface.
Peek in your fo output.  Your text in <emphasis role="bold">
should be wrapped in:

<fo:inline font-weight="bold">my text</fo:inline>

and the column headings should have:

<fo:block font-weight="bold">Column heading</fo:block>

Those produce boldface output in PDF output using
FOP 0.2.4 in my tests.
