Apparently the "Restore defaults" button is page-specific, and I didn't manage to reset this particular page in my less drastic settings resets earlier.
Yes, I see that behaviour as well.

Anyway, with this setting enabled, you get the symptom I've shown above.

This has got to be a bug: there are no "indents at the beginning of lines" to remove! I've placed my example text above on a public web server in case someone feels the need to have a byte-for-byte perfect input source to test this with. But, I really need to stress this: the bug affects pretty much any Markdown input: I've been seeing this for quite a while now, and I've got hundreds of Markdown files in my Calibre library from many sources.

I've got my solution, but I hope someone fixes this problem so it doesn't bite anyone else in the future.
Yes, it is probably a bug. If you report it at https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre, it should get fixed.
