An indented code block following a list, without an intervening paragraph, does not get formatted correctly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open /browser/demo.html
2. Input the following text into the editor:

This is a bug.

    here is a code block, properly monospaced

But if I start a list,

* even if it only has one item

    and then I try to make a code block, it doesn't work.

On the other hand, if I start another normal paragraph first,

    code blocks work again

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

"    and then I try to make a code block, it doesn't work." should be displayed 
as a code block. Instead it is included as part of the list element.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

This is unfixable, because it's an ambiguity in the Markdown specification. See 
my extended explanation at http://meta.stackoverflow.com/a/99637/115866.

Yeah, I just came back to try to withdraw this because I re-read that part of 
the markdown spec trying to figure out how to fix it. Sorry to bother you.
