Sure, just using the markdown editor is an acceptable workaround. Consider this a feature request to have the feature work consistently in all editing modes, then. Again, the rich text editor doesn’t always ignore these substitutions — I imagine they’re initiated by the OS in some way — it just tends to handle them badly.
