Edit source differs from question view? Or are we each other's friends now?

I just came across this question, which I immediately started to edit for better formatting. The strange thing that I saw is this:

This is the way the question is shown:

enter image description here

Notice the Hi in the beginning of the question.

When you edit the question though, this is what you see:

enter image description here

At first I thought someone edited the text right when I clicked, so I canceled. The Hi is still there. CTRL+F5 also didn't change anything. Logging out and clicking Improve this question again showed the exact same thing.

I canceled the edit so that this bug could be tried by others and fixed and I wouldn't accidentally make the bug go away.

The system is set to remove these generic greetings at the begining of posts. - https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/93989/172936.

Perhaps this cleanup functionality is also executed when editing posts.

    In this case it's the first explanation, but because the post hasn't been rebaked since the replacement was done on the source (the revision history shows the correct version)
