It was really user-error. I have customized Markdown fairly
extensively to suit my needs, so I was worried I stomped on some toes,
and wouldn't be able to figure out which ones. Fortunately, that
wasn't the source of the error. What was happening was that I was
loading a large chunk of marked down text line by line into a scalar,
but running markdown() on each line as it was added to the scalar.
Hence the spurious p and ul tags. Changing the behavior to run
markdown() on logical chunks of text solved the problem.
