Just a guess, but you might need to avoid changing the itemdelim within the switch-case structure, maybe try something like:

on menuPick theMenuItem
  set the itemDelimiter to "|"
  put item 1 of theMenuItem into itemChosen
  put item 2 of theMenuItem into subItemChosen
  set the itemDelimiter to comma
  switch itemChosen ---the submenu name
     case "Font"
        set the textFont of field "Example Text"\
               to subItemChosen
        break
     case "Size"
  -- <snip>
  -- ... then later
  
     case "Bold"  ---These two remaining menu items
     case" Italic"  ---are handled with the same piece of code!
        put the textStyle of field "example text" into currentStyle
        -- set the itemDelimiter to comma ---*** take this out
        if theMenuItem is among the items of currentStyle then
  -- <snip>
