Cause

This behavior is identified to be caused by the incompatibility of JIRA Markdown plugin. Currently JIRA Markdown plugin doesn't support JIRA 6 version. This improvement is currently being tracked here:

https://bitbucket.org/bbaker/atlassian-markdown/issue/9/jira-6-support

Workaround

Disable the JIRA Markdwon plugin add-on until the improvement request is fixed.
