So yeah... titles are fully parsed as markdown. Which opens up a lot of abuse vectors for spammers/scammers. Not only that, links in markdown are green which opens the door even further for fake admin posts.
Shows as plaintext in Jerboa. So I guess this is front-end dependent?
Yes, of course :) This is the desktop web front-end, so the "default" .
Same behavior on mobile web front-end. This is a serious issue.
