  I will agree with you that in markup.raw.block.markdown it perhaps  
should not get special treatment. I don't think that it is easy to  
disable though, and we do want it to be enabled in the rest of the  
markdown code.

I don't tend to use HTML in Markdown, but I sure would like to see it  
colored when I do use it. I guess it depends on how one uses  
Markdown. One simple solution to avoiding the indenting behavior is  
to change the scope of the "Miscellaneous" file in the HTML bundle  
from "text.html" to "text.html - text.html.markdown". That would tell  
it to not use whatever that file is offering in the markdown bundle.  
This should make things work in your local copy. (Don't forget, if  
you want changes to preferences items to take effect, you have to  
close the Bundle Editor window)
The only "disadvantage" to this is that it makes something in the  
HTML bundle refer markdown. the HTML bundle doesn't "know" about  
markdown, and it shouldn't. But if you want a quick fix, that is the  
simplest way.
