I just tried it and it worked fine here. I don't think I can remember
any bugs in this area but I'm not 100% sure.

Here's what it saved in the XML:

        <widget class="GtkLabel" id="label1">
          <property name="visible">True</property>
          <property name="label"
translatable="yes">label1&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&g
t;</property>
          <property name="use_underline">False</property>
          <property name="use_markup">True</property>
          <property name="justify">GTK_JUSTIFY_LEFT</property>
          <property name="wrap">False</property>
          <property name="selectable">False</property>
          <property name="xalign">0</property>
          <property name="yalign">0.5</property>
          <property name="xpad">0</property>
          <property name="ypad">0</property>
          <property name="ellipsize">PANGO_ELLIPSIZE_NONE</property>
          <property name="width_chars">-1</property>
          <property name="single_line_mode">False</property>
          <property name="angle">0</property>
        </widget>
