It is lacking opening and closing <p>'s for some reason. Works with 3.0.3 (and is the reason why 3.0.3 is the one usually used by rails developers, I'd imagine).

Note this described ad nauseum in http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/RedCloth

and the code I used found in /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.3/lib/action_view/helpers/text_helper.rb

Thanks!
