Comment:

 Thank you for the patch and further research, @nerrad! You're absolutely
 right that this change in behaviour was an oversight during merging.

 I agree that `do_blocks()` needs to be run before other things in
 `the_content` run, but I don't think that changing the priority of
 `wpautop()` is a viable option, as many plugins assume it runs at priority
 10. Changing it will cause subtle issues like the one @mkaz mentioned, or
 problems like `remove_action( 'the_content', 'wpautop' )` no longer
 working as it has in the past.

 [attachment:"45290.2.diff"] is an attempt to work around this: when
 `do_blocks()` is run, it decides if it needs to remove `wpautop()`, does
 so, then schedules a filter to re-add it immediately after it would've
 run.
