Comment (by devesine):

 Here's a unit test for this, as well as the start of a possible patch to
 provide this functionality.  Seriously malformed things like

 {{{
 < blockquote > < foo < blockquote >
 }}}

 still get mangled to the amusing

 {{{
 &lt; &lt; foo < blockquote >
 }}}

 with that patch, which is obviously wrong - in part, because this patch
 only handles a single lone < leading a tag - but I wanted to put what I
 had done up.

 I'm not sure what the expected behavior might be where floating '>' are
 concerned, either.
