It's not clear, but you may be trying to use the code tag as a CDATA 
section. That's not it's purpose. All the code element is supposed to do 
is mark a section as code, which usually means monospacing it. That's it.

If it's not doing that, or it's doing more than that, then this is a bug.

If you expect it to do something beyond that, then the bug is yours. 
Please elaborate. i.e. what do you put in? what do you get? what do you 
expect?
