Markdown sanitization(?) in post summaries can produce different Markdown

The question https://software.codidact.com/posts/295294 includes markdown like:

Is there a way to run this command using the `$ vim --remote-expr {expr}` shell command? I know I can do this using `$ vim --remote-send ':set invnumber<cr>'`.

In the post, this appears normally; the two sections of inline code appear as inline code, as reproduced here:

Is there a way to run this command using the $ vim --remote-expr {expr} shell command? I know I can do this using $ vim --remote-send ':set invnumber<cr>'.

But in the post preview on the main list of questions (https://software.codidact.com/), it appears that the dollar signs are interpreted as surrounding LaTeX code, as if the backticks had been stripped out. To confirm, doing so in this post, like

Is there a way to run this command using the $ vim --remote-expr {expr} shell command? I know I can do this using $ vim --remote-send

produces (I added a blockquote marker just for clarity, and truncated the source to avoid a warning about an unrecognized <cr> HTML tag):

Is there a way to run this command using the $ vim --remote-expr {expr} shell command? I know I can do this using $ vim --remote-send

(I would post this on the main Meta, but it appears that LaTeX is disabled there and it must be enabled to demonstrate the problem.)
