This happens because the preview is being rendered client-side by a JavaScript library, while the actual post is being rendered server-side using a Rails library.  I've been told it's not feasible to use the exact same library in both places, but finding a way to resolve these differences (so they *behave* the same way even though they're different code) is on the to-do list.
