I haven't thought much about this.  Immediately, I'd say you would need 
to use a tag other than <pre> or <code>.  Right now I just wrap those 
sorts of code blocks in <div class="formattedCode"> tags and then be 
sure to give the formattedCode class <pre>-like css properties.

With RedCloth 2.1, you'll also be able to override RedCloth's default 
handling of elements.  Would that be okay?
