Comment (by mdgl):

 Added #31190 for the specific issue with `esc_html()`. Having looked at
 this and related escaping issues for a couple of days, my brain has turned
 to mush and I'm not sure what I believe anymore :-)

 Also relevant for future investigation may be the fact that the `<title>`
 element in RSS is only supposed to contain text unlike the `<description>`
 and `<content:encoded>` elements which should contain HTML (see the RSS
 Best Practices Profile at http://www.rssboard.org/rss-profile).
