Comment (by soulseekah):

 Your example is not valid HTML. `wp_html_split` assumes valid HTML, one
 sanitized via `wp_kses` for example (see docblock for
 `do_shortcodes_in_html_tags`):


 {{{
 * Assumes $content processed by KSES already.  Users with unfiltered_html
 * capability may get unexpected output if angle braces are nested in tags.
 }}}

 You can leave the "tag" open, if you use HTML entities, which is the
 proper way to do it, I think.
