Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Replying to [ticket:47327 afercia]:
 > In the WordPress admin, italic text is typically used for descriptions
 and help text. Sometimes also for other elements, for example:
 > - labels in the Quick Edit and Bulk Edit forms: this is also
 inconsistent with labels styling across the admin
 > - error details text in the new Recover Mode functionality
 >
 > For all these cases, I'd like to propose to remove the italic style.

 I agree. The italic style on file paths under "This plugin failed to load"
 message on the last screenshot looks especially weird to me.
