Trying to use Markdown formatting on detail-section labels causes unexpected centered alignment in preview

I knew that blank lines are needed in certain places when mixing HTML markup with Markdown so that the Markdown will actually be processed. For example:
```
<details>
<summary>
Gory details that are *incredibly* shocking
</summary>
Ha, fooled you!
</details>
```
produces:
<details>
<summary>
Gory details that are *incredibly* shocking
</summary>
Ha, fooled you!
</details>
A blank line is needed after the `summary` tag. However, adding that introduces a new problem:
```
<details>
<summary>
Gory details that are *incredibly* shocking
</summary>
Ha, fooled you!
</details>
```
This looks correct here:
<details>
<summary>
Gory details that are *incredibly* shocking
</summary>
Ha, fooled you!
</details>
But in the post preview, the label is centered (image for reference):
