With electric-pairs-mode enabled, rst-mode does not pair * and ` (the
backtick).  The star is used for emphasis and strong markup as in
*emphasized* and **bold**, and the backtick is even more ubiquitous, as
it surrounds literal text, references, and role arguments.

I installed the patch below into emacs-24 which should fix it, thank you,
