Org Markdown exporter (ox-md) does not respect Footnotes level

• Given that I have an Org document with footnotes
• And I have defined:

#+BIND: org-md-toplevel-hlevel 2 

• And in my Emacs init script I have set:

(setq org-export-allow-bind-keywords t) 

• When I export using ox-md: C-c C-e m m

Expected: Then I should see that the footnotes heading is a level 2 heading

Actual: The footnotes heading is always exported as a level 1 heading

Do I need to change another setting for this to work?

The entire Org document:

#+BIND: org-md-toplevel-hlevel 2 Post summary or tagline. ** level 1 Post starts here. [fn:1] *** level2 lorem ipsum ** Footnotes [fn:1] a footnote 

The resulting Markdown file:

 ## Table of Contents 1. [level 1](#orgfadcdb8) 1. [level2](#org61fade8) Post summary or tagline. <a id="orgfadcdb8"></a> ## level 1 Post starts here. <sup><a id="fnr.1" class="footref" href="#fn.1" role="doc-backlink">1</a></sup> <a id="org61fade8"></a> ### level2 lorem ipsum # Footnotes <sup><a id="fn.1" href="#fnr.1">1</a></sup> a footnote
