How to put bird-style literate Haskell code blocks into a markdown enumeration with pandoc

Question

Normal markdown code blocks can be part of a list:

 *  Item1
 *  Item 2

    ```haskell
    instance Alternative Facts where …
    ```

    more explanation

        instance Alternative Syntax where …

    even more explanation

But if I use pandoc’s markdown+lhs mode, and I want the code blocks to be rendered within the indented lists, this does not seem to work:

 *  Item 3

    Still indented

    > Not picked up by GHC as literate haskell

    More text

> Picked up by GHC, but not indented by pandoc

    Even more text of the item, but rendered as a code-block by pandoc.

How can I mark it up so that GHC sees the bird-style code block, but indents it appropriately and also continues the item afterwards?

(Using \begin{code}…\end{code} is not an option in this case.)

Note at all, as confirmed by pandoc’s author and now noted in the documentation.
