I'm not sure if this should be treated as bug.
For me it's a KnownLimitation, which would be some food for Jeff

   Jeff ? :)
   Joel's counting idea, similar to the geometrical point-in-polygon 
test seems to be a nice idea.

Workarounds:
Use old markup,
   __not a list__
rewrap or use &#x20; at the first column if it's the very first character,
   &#x20;*not a list*
or use <strong></strong> instead.
   <strong>not a list</strong>
