Why boldmath fails in a tikz node?
I think that probably boldmath is deprecated, although I can't find any "official" reference, but anyway:
documentclass[border=10pt]{standalone}
usepackage{tikz}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
path (0,0) node[draw]{boldmath (+)} (1,1);
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
Fails to compile with a strange:
! Package tikz Error: Giving up on this path. Did you forget a semicolon?.
See the tikz package documentation for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
...
l.6 path (0,0) node[draw]{boldmath (+)}
(1,1);
?
If I double the braces in the node, as
path (0,0) node[draw]{{boldmath (+)}} (1,1);
it works ok:

Is this expected behavior?

TikZ has the key font (as well as node font for such things) with which it works.
documentclass[border=10pt]{standalone}
usepackage{tikz}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
path (1,0) node[draw,font=boldmath]{ (+)};
path (2,0) node[draw,node font=boldmath]{ (+)};
path (3,0) node[draw]{ (+)};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
