Comment (by miqrogroove):

 I thought I would be able to patch this easily, but I am still confused by
 the intended outcome.  If I apply wp_specialchars() to the gallery output,
 it does not escape entity references.  Is it better to use
 htmlspecialchars() and potentially break existing entities in the gallery,
 or does the patch need to change the visual editor to also use
 wp_specialchars() ?
