I can't make three-deep nested images work in wikitext.

Three deep (image1's caption contains image2, and image2's caption contains image3) causes this problem if done in VisualEditor:
http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?&oldid=82440 It displays correctly in VisualEditor, but makes a mess when you save.

Two deep in wikitext displays correctly: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?&oldid=598318957#List

Three deep in wikitext shows me only the first image. The other two in my (unsaved) attempts simply disappeared from view (although present in the wikitext code).

It's possible that I simply haven't found the perfect sequence of nesting the images, but if wikitext can't handle more than two in a nested sequence, the VisualEditor shouldn't offer it.
