Comment:

 This is one of the "peculiar ways" wpautop works... The "Text" tab in the
 classic editor has a visual component to it. It is not a "pure HTML"
 input, it converts line breaks to paragraphs and `<br>` tags.

 In this case the error is that the first closing `</p>` should be a
 `<br>`. It may be possible to add another regex to search for this exact
 case and fix it, but chances are something else will break. The bad part
 about such breakage is that it gets saved to the DB and then introduces
 problems on every page load on the front-end. As wpautop use is on its way
 out, not sure it's worth the risks of fixing these rare edge cases.
