Interesting, that does work for me.

For completeness sake, this is in the grammar repository:

    raw_block = {
        patterns = (
            {   name = 'markup.raw.block.markdown';
                begin = '(^|\G)([ ]{4}|\t)';
                while = '(^|\G)([ ]{4}|\t)';
            },
            {   name = 'markup.raw.block.fenced.markdown';
                begin = '(^|\G)([`~]{3,})';
                end = '(^|\G)([`~]{3,})';
                beginCaptures = { 2 = { name =
'punctuation.definition.raw.markdown'; }; };
            },
        );
    };

and I tested with this snippet of text:

    This is some text

        This is a raw block

    ```
    This is another raw block
    ```

    This is some more text

Both raw blocks are recognized as such, as are both paragraphs.

Is your TextMate up to date? (2.0-beta.8.5 is the latest "normal" release.)
Have you made any other modifications to your Markdown bundle?

Sorry,
Martin
