MT4: Bad for feeds?

My MT4 upgrade experience continues. I looked at the post I entered last night in my feed reader. Uh oh! All of the markup was stripped out, and the raw output from the text editor was there instead.

I had been using the editor's "markdown with smarty pants" feature. "Markdown with smarty pants" transforms the text you enter in the editor before it hits the web page to produce nicely formatted html. Apparently, that transformation is not occurring when it goes into the feed.

This is not a good thing. I'm still using my templates from MT3.35, so perhaps the problem stems from that.

But, getting the feeds right is a big deal for my current post-processing strategies.
