I don't think that Markdown has a single specification.

Perhaps it is a bug that ox-md is not following a specification, and
this would be fixed by using a specification and passing its test suite:

https://commonmark.org/

However, if ox-md is intentionally trying to match the behaviour of the
original Markdown.pl, the Pandoc format that matches this is
"markdown_strict" and not "markdown".

i.e. Pandoc's "markdown" format is not the same format which is
described at daringfireball.net:
