The markdown module uses a custom lua parser, which does not support
all features of markdown and has some bugs. I would recommend using
pandoc in combination with the filter module for the conversion. Try
your example with the following setup (you need to have pandoc in
your PATH).

\usemodule[filter]

\defineexternalfilter
  [markdown]
  [
    filtercommand={pandoc                     \space
      --from=\externalfilterparameter{format} \space
      --to=context                            \space
     %--standalone                            \space
      --output=\externalfilteroutputfile      \space
      \externalfilterinputfile                \space
    },
    format=markdown,
  ]
