Comment (by henry.wright):

 The aim of #40040 was to make output consistent by running wptexturize,
 convert_chars, wpautop and shortcode_unautop on the author description.
 This is what's done to post content, category descriptions etc.

 #40040 hasn't been popular with some theme authors because the change may
 result in nested {{{<p>}}} tags if {{{<p>}}} tags are already used in
 author description markup.

 I agree that this needed more testing.
