My first advice would be to try upgrading (we're on 2.13).
But I don't think that's the issue.

tex_math_dollars is enabled by default in pandoc's 'markdown', so you
could try disabling it.  -f markdown-tex_math_dollars+hard_line_breaks etc.

But I don't really see how you could be getting the results
you say you are, even with this extension enabled.
To say more, I'd need a minimal markdown input sufficient
for generating the issue.  But first try upgrading.
