Ain't that cute. But it's WRONG!
You should not be able to use it until your next turn.

(and again, highlighting the card doesn't work. )
I've found if you lead the post with the card name, it does not get the autocard treatment. Putting a character (except "a " or "A ") before the card name at the beginning of the post seems to work (I haven't tested every other character, but of all the ones I have tried, "a " and "A " do not work). Starting the post with "A " or "a " turns off the autocarding entirely for the whole post.

I will try to remember this. 8-[

I think many of us have had this problem at one time or another.

I went and took another look at the bug listing. Many of the bug postings start with the card name and the highlighting makes it a lot easier to quickly find which card is referenced. I have been here long enough to start taking these things sometimes for granted.
