I believe the frontend uses markdown-it proper.
I think that it's the backend that screws the "url" up. Everything looks good in the preview, but the "url" part disappears upon publishing.
It only becomes an image to me when outside of a code/preformatted block. Inside of one, it contains the raw markdown verbatim:
<code class="hljs">!<span class="hljs-selector-attr">[alt]</span>(url)</code>.
