Markdown.registerExtensions has this code:

        try:
            ext.extendMarkdown(self, globals())
        except AttributeError:
            message(ERROR, "Incorrect type! Extension '%s' is "
                           "neither a string or an Extension." %(repr(ext)))

I just got confused by it, because I'd written md.preprocessor.add instead of md.preprocessors.add, and got the traceback pointing somewhere else entirely... it's not much for style, but a correct fix would be

        try:
            ext.extendMarkdown
        except AttributeError:
            message(ERROR, "Incorrect type! Extension '%s' is "
                           "neither a string or an Extension." %(repr(ext)))

        ext.extendMarkdown(self, globals())

so that the attribute check only applies to the specific local attribute. (Using hasattr is probably a lot clearer... parsing the AttributeError exception message is impractical.)

Resolution
