Comment (by Mista-Flo):

 It's inside `format_to_edit` function in `wp-includes/formating.php`, it
 checks `rich_text` value to escape or not the textarea.

 I'm not 100% sure what to do without having side effects on other editor
 fields.

 I just came up with a quick patch to start the conversation, but again,
 not tested in different scenario hence not sure it's a good fix.

 Would like to get developer feedbacks here, not sure how it works for
 other editor fields
