I looked at the definition of that option, and at the function
`mm-display-inline-fontify' that it calls.  That function is
nontrivial, so I can't tell, in a short time, what it does and doesn't
do.

That is one good thing.  Maybe that means it's fine.

But you've told me little about what things `mm-display-inline-fontify' does,
only that they do not include selecting Org mode.

Could you please tell me the main things it _does_ do?

I understand now.  I agree, that is not an issue for this specific point.
