Here's what I get when I convert

$$
\underbrace{xxx\ldots xx}_n
$$

from markdown to docx (see attached screenshot).

That looks just right to me.  I wasn't sure how to
interpret your "linear format" strings, so I'm not
sure what you're seeing.  You can attach a screenshot.

Your pandoc is compiled against a recent version
of texmath (0.10.1).
