Hey John, I'm pretty sure there is nothing wrong. BBEdit's "Preview in BBEdit" command understands Markdown, and renders it correctly. On the other hand, when you "Preview in …" to send the document to another browser, the raw document is sent to the browser. If you "View Source" in whichever browser you're using, you'll see it's just the Markdown document. Browsers don't understand Markdown, so they render the document as text. If you want to see what the Markdown document looks like when rendered as HTML, you'll need to translate it first (running the Markdown document through markdown.pl, for example) and view the resulting html file in your browser.
