 The script wp-admin/includes/export.php creates CDATA blocks for category
 and tag data which contain HTML entities. Normally, these characters
 should appear un-encoded in the CDATA blocks, see #4321.

 I suspect this problem may have been considered at some point, but
 currently the line in question is commented out :
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-
 admin/includes/export.php?rev=9148#L102

 The solution, I think, would be to replace that comment with
 html_entity_decode($str)
