This is the only open issue when you plan to use lucene, you need a good parser for the syntax and this is very difficult.
Mediawiki already saves a pre-parsed text at article save time. It would be no problem to save this into a place where something like lucene could get to it. But even if the search engine does have to do some of its own parsing, that's not such a big deal.
