That usually works for me, but the quotes just seem to mess things up. Specifically quotes with bullet points after a quote without a bullet point seem to cause troubles.
- Bullet point
  Quote with bullet point
  
  Quote
  
  Quote but no bullet point
Edit: After testing, it seems that the first item on the list controls whether anything can be a bullet point within a quote. Odd, but at least I understand it now.

Editx2, Ah shoot. Now I can’t figure out how to escape quotes properly. I think I’ll quit while I’m ahead.

  Let’s see…
  Begin quote
  
  Try bullet point…
  Source code (indent with 4 spaces):
```
> Begin quote
>
>  * Try bullet point…
```
  Now…
  - Bullet point
    
    Bullet point inside quote inside bullet point
    
    Quote inside quote inside bullet point.
    
    Aaand the bullet point!
    
    Looks like it works.
  Source code:
```
* Bullet point
    > * Bullet point inside quote inside bullet point
    > > Quote inside quote inside bullet point.
    > >
    > > * Aaand the bullet point!
    > >
    > > [non-breakable space (the actual one, not '&nbsp')]
    >
    > Looks like it works.
