This is expected. The manual is not accurate here (and has been fixed on development version of Org mode). See https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/f0597d96-a287-2c48-7897-6b8737c95...@posteo.eu/ > In contrast, "A \(k\)-ary..." works. This is also expected. Note that the latter syntax is preferred. We do not recommend $k$ because it has edge cases like you encountered. Canceled. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
