Comment:

 Hi @neilgee - Thanks very much for the report.

 I've confirmed the issue. It's due to some inconsistent HTML filtering. At
 the time of profile save, rich text field values are sanitized using an
 expanded set of allowed HTML tags. At the time of profile display, the
 sanitization is too broad - because of the way the legacy logic worked,
 the expanded set of HTML tags is ignored in this case. See #5742, #5625.

 I'll put a fix in place.
