JSDoc does not strip leading * inside markdown code block

Code

/**
 * @example
 * ```
 * 1 + 2
 * ```
*/
export function foo() { }

Hover over foo

Bug:
The jsdoc content returned includes the leading * from the comment inside the code block:

[Trace  - 11:08:38 AM] Response received: quickinfo (13). Request took 2 ms. Success: true 
Result: {
    "kind": "function",
    "kindModifiers": "export",
    "start": {
        "line": 9,
        "offset": 17
    },
    "end": {
        "line": 9,
        "offset": 20
    },
    "displayString": "function foo(): void",
    "documentation": "",
    "tags": [
        {
            "name": "example",
            "text": "```\n * 1 + 2\n * ```"
        }
]
}

This is a regression from the current 2.8 builds

I only noticed this change in behavior now after updating VSCode, but this definitely was still working correctly a couple of months ago. Also using standard (non-fenced / non-GFM) Markdown for code blocks still works correctly now. Maybe there was a change/replacement of the MD parser?

/**
 * This works as expected (w/o leading asterisks)
 *
 * @example
 *
 *    const foo = [...mapcat((x) => [x,x,x], [1,2,3])];
 *    // [[1,1,1], [2,2,2], [3,3,3]]
