Ah! Now I see what you mean. It makes perfect sense and is super-easy  
to reproduce. Thank you for that clear example.

If anyone is interested in a fix for PHP Markdown, just change the  
call to the `strlen` function within detab to a call to `mb_strlen 
($line, 'utf-8')`. I'll fix this for the next version.
