Comment:

 the_title() supports HTML in the titles, as such, if you want to use '<='
 in a title, You need to use `&lt;=` in order to result in correct HTML in
 the theme, let alone in the RSS feed.

 Most browsers realise it's not a HTML tag and can work around it, but RSS
 feeders are not that smart usually, and their XML parsers will choke on
 it.

 Unfortunately, I have to close this as invalid as it's the expected
 behaviour, even if it's a bit strange sometimes.
