Comment (by miqrogroove):

 Replying to [comment:28 chriscct7]:
 > This would seem to indicate we're missing a unit test for creating a
 post with many special characters in the title (one for & in particular),
 and then pulling it out and seeing if it matches.

 I would like to humbly suggest that this is beyond the scope of this
 ticket.  New ticket #32990.
