i wonder if this is perhaps another place where "org mode as simple
text" conflicts with "org mode to solve difficult problems". that comes
up from time to time (using dollar signs as delimiters for math is one
recent example, another is "-" being "filled" into column one and taken
as an item in a new list).
it's a hard line to straddle.
