In the actual answer:

I wonder if forcing the code-block language works on SU... I keep meaning to test it. – DMA57361♦ May 25 '11 at 19:12

I'm pretty sure they were, way in the beginning. But they haven't been for a while now.

And after the next build, they won't be highlighted in the preview either :)
