Hi Karl, Org-mode support in GitHub is provided by the package org-ruby[1][2]. Looking at the source code and test-cases here would give you a fair idea of what is supported and what is not. Also, the version of org-ruby presently deployed on GitHub is a bit old, and the latest release comes with quite a few fixes and new features.
One of us could probably write to GitHub, asking them to update the package being deployed. I tried contacting them on twitter a few weeks back, but didn't work.
