Absolutely correct - it is broken by design.
What I meant to say was that from a naïve user's (writer's) point of
view, it's a bug.
Changing this behaviour in Markdown would obviously cause sloppy
list-numbering to appear here and there existing documents, but
requiring users to keep their ordered list numbering straight isn't
usually a huge burden.
(I guess that support for wiki-style  #. syntax for auto-numbering
<ol>s would be a good idea.)
