Starting a markdown bullet with a latex character does not render correctly

[caryfitz]

A notebook cell containing this:

md"""
### $\int$ is not a greek letter
* I am fond of $\nu$
* $\nu$ it!
* Something old, something $\nu$, something borrowed
    * I am fond of $\nu$
    * Something old, something $\nu$, something borrowed
    * $\nu$ that I would find $\nu$
"""

Comes out with bad rendering. It looks like the symbol is rendered by itself in the middle of a line, followed by the rest of the text. A latex symbol at the beginning of a line triggers this behavior. Interestingly, it only applies to bullet points, (at any level) but not headers.

It's not clear to me where the bug is. The same text renders correctly with pandoc. I installed julia from the julia archives, so I assume the tex/md are installed with julia and are different from the system's. Given that the problem is specific to bullet points, it seems more likely that md is the culprit.
