Comment (by wpmate):

 It occurs programmatically ie in a php script. If you compose a post
 containing target="_blank" and use a script something like below to create
 the post, the target="_blank" 'disappears'

 $post_data =
 compact('post_content','post_title','post_date','post_date_gmt','post_author','post_category',
 'post_status',
 'tags_input','post_parent','post_type','post_mime_type','guid','tax_input');

 $post_data = add_magic_quotes($post_data);

 $post_ID = wp_insert_post($post_data);
 return $post_ID;
