It looks like the accented "o" "versión" and the accented "a" "gráfico" 
are not supported in bold with the font.

IMHO the adoption of the Vegur font was a great starter font for the new 
LibreOffice project, but there should be a big push put in the design 
team to find a resolution for this problem. We have arrived at the point 
where we need a font that supports a full complement of language 
characters. The different language groups are forming their marketing 
teams and are soon going to start needing font support for their 
marketing materials.

Cheers
