Comment (by pbiron):

 First, the HTML you've got is invalid.  It should be:

 {{{
 <p>To make this thing happen, go to Pages <a href="http://google.com/"
 target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="This is > an aria
 label">http://google.com</a></p>
 }}}

 [Note that `>` has been replaced by `>` in `@aria-label`]

 Is the (classic) editor supposed to try to "fix" bad HTML?  If so, then
 there is a bug somewhere.  If not, then I'd say this "operator error" and
 this ticket should be closed as `invalid`.
