I seem to be encountering a problem with conversion to Textile format. The problem is that blockquotes only include the final portion of their text when they emerge from the conversion process.

Here's the input text (in Textile format; only the center block quote section is important):

and here's the output (also Textile format):

Spoiler:

Note that the first 5 "sentences" in the block quote are missing. There are also some spurious paragraphs inserted, but I'm not too worried about those right now.

I've seen this in Markdown-to-Textile, mobi-to-Textile, and Textile-to-Textile conversions, so it appears to be a problem with the Textile output procedure. My output settings are the following:

Do not remove links: ON
Do not remove image references: ON
Keep text color: OFF

Does anyone else see this?

Edit:

I just noticed that if the next-to-last sentence ends in something other than a period (e.g. ! or ? or ”) then that sentence also seems to remain in the output block quote.
