Recipe module output lacks formatting---class has been stripped

recipe.module 1.39.2.2
drupal 4.6.5

My output from the recipe module has unformatted headings. In recipe_content, the headings get enclosed in div blocks with the label class. The function, however, calls node_prepare on the content. check_output gets called by node_prepare and the div tags are stripped out.

Removing the call to node_prepare in recipe_content (and returning $node itself) fixes the HTML output. I don't know if this is correct/secure though.
