Yes, that does seem to work for me. I think you must be typing it wrong somehow. Or it’s some crazy bug.
Edit: I see, the problem is when it looks for links to automatically promote them if you don’t use Markdown syntax. I guess escaping the parenthesis doesn’t work there.
You don’t actually have to escape the close parenthesis in the “link text” park of the Markdown (in square brackets), only in the URL part (in parentheses).
