This is expected. The manual is not accurate here (and has been fixed on
development version of Org mode).
See https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/f0597d96-a287-2c48-7897-6b8737c95217@posteo.eu/

> In contrast, "A \(k\)-ary..." works.

This is also expected. Note that the latter syntax is preferred. We do
not recommend $k$ because it has edge cases like you encountered.

Canceled.
