Comment (by soulseekah):

 This is a very common issue among formatting functions in WordPress,
 wherein "stray" brackets break tag detection. This happens in scripts,
 styles and even regular HTML attributes with angle brackets in them. There
 are a bunch of tickets open regarding this.

 The issue here is that {{{<=1);</script>}}} is detected as a tag.

 Also there are no unit tests. Let's start writing some.
