No, it would work perfectly. What you have to do is
to use <var|...> only for things like variables, 'A',
'ABC', etc., and for the rest, you embed it inside the
math environment. Thus you will have :
[[
  $... <var|A> ... <var|ABC> ...$
]]

, and then, the 'A', 'ABC', etc. will always be in italics.
