Comment:

 I was using Chrome on a Mac.
 I've now downloaded a clean Firefox and tried again with the same results.
 I then tried with IE on Windows 7 with the same results.

 This is a clean install of WP 3.5 with no changes to the settings.

 I am beginning to think that it takes a new-be to screw up like a new-be.
 What is now clear to me is that the Visual editor is, probably by design,
 removing anchors that span block elements, and replacing their opening and
 closing tags with " ". This coding practice was also considered
 invalid HTML prior to HTML5. If you have been unable to reproduce this, my
 guess is this is because you knew better than to try to span block
 elements in the first place.

 Am I right?
