found one that happened on Stack Overflow... plus revert back to the actual [sic] edit comment on the edits.

Jun 4, 2020 at 15:43 comment added tkruse It might be a good idea to also run a commonmark linter on the transformed results. A linter might be able to warn in cases the generated commonmark is legal, but weird.
Jun 4, 2020 at 9:48 comment added PM 2Ring @HamVocke Ah, I see. The new version looks the same as the previous version, and the HTML is the same. It's only the Markdown that has extra indentation.
Jun 4, 2020 at 9:39 comment added Ham Vocke StaffMod @PM2Ring I understand where your concern is coming from but that statement still holds true. "Looks different" refers to the rendered HTML, not the Markdown version of a post. In the cases outline here the Markdown was changed but still resulted in equal HTML (because CommonMark allows some ambiguity).
Jun 4, 2020 at 9:37 comment added PM 2Ring @HamVocke It's great that you've fixed this bug, but it is a bit concerning that the autofixer let that edit go through. That doesn't appear to be consistent with: "If a post looks different using the new renderer (and if it’s just one whitespace off) we won’t automatically re-render the post and put it up for investigation first."

Jun 4, 2020 at 8:07 comment added Ham Vocke StaffMod Wow, awesome find! Turns out there's a bug in the markdown autofixer: When a line preceding a blockquote contains a hyphen, a subsequent blockquote will be indented. I've got a repro and will fix this now so we don't run into this for upcoming migrations. In those two cases, feel free to edit the markdown manually.
