Comment:

 You are right!

 Actually the behavior is quite strange. I have the following code:
 <pre><div></div></pre>.

 When I look into HTML it turns to
 <p><pre><br><div><br></div><br></pre></p>

 Not all `<` are converted to `<` `<br>`, `<p>` and `</p>` all are fine.
 For hand written HTML tags like `pre` and `div`, `>` are not converted to
 `>`.

 It looks like default HTML tags rendered by Gutenberg are fine. The
 strange behavior starts with HTML tags we write by hand!
