Possible Markdown rendering issue

I can confirm Laserkittens findings and reproduce the bug according to his instructions, however there is another detail that might perhaps explain Monicas failure to reproduce the bug.
During my tests, i noticed that the bug only manifests when i immediately click the Save/Post button after inserting the link via the Link button.
After inserting the link via the Link button, the text edit element loses the keyboard input focus. Just setting the input focus back to the text edit element (by clicking on it) before saving/posting was enough to prevent the bug from occuring.
The effect was also observable to me in the preview during editing. The link did not appear in the preview after adding it, but when clicking somewhere into the text edit element, the link appeared in the preview.
(I am using Firefox.)
