No - actually it's right.  If there is no colon, "align=left" is  
added, which makes it left alignment.  I can change the code such  
that this is not the case (I had not thought about right-to-left  
languages, and had written this with my html2latex XSLT in mind.)  I  
do agree that this is not the behavior you chose for PHP Markdown Extra.

I'll look into this some more, and it would be trivial to change how  
MultiMarkdown behaves, I just need to change the XSLT to be  
compatible.  Thanks for bringing this up!
