Earlier on SO, a reply was posted to a comment I made on this answer. My username in the reply was italicised and I didn't get any notification for it, which I assume is because of the letter-for-letter match that comment replies use. If my guess is right, should the comment reply system ignore markdown for the purposes of matching usernames?

In such cases (never seen one before) the user is simply not following the standard formatting convention, so it can't be expected to work.
