It throws invalid workflow exception
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Flow#Dependencies mentions this bug, and emphasizes the html format with Parsoid is what WMF uses and tests. We could drop wgFlowCoptentFormat = wikitext if it makes life easier...
In my specific usecase I was able to switch to html format at little cost or effort; but it would seem to me that a hard dependency on Parsoid is going to severely restict the number of non-WMF sites who can deploy that otherwise very valuable extension. I don't get to set priorities on dev time, but I'm pretty sure that dropping wikitext markup would be a Bad Idea™
