IIRC that one is built in and cannot be turned off (I think this is
also documented somewhere in the manual but I didn't check).  Therefore
you have to go through some more troubles (see Tassilo's message).

The usual trick to fix this is to write something like this:

  the average salary is $\bar x=\Rexpr{mean(mydata$salary}}$% $

You get misformed fontification, but you can limit it until EOL.
