 It seems that when a post title contains HTML character references
 (entities) that the list of posts in the //Bulk Edit// screen shows the
 raw HTML markup in its non-decoded form. Instead, it ought to show the
 decoded form.

 The JavaScript is escaping the raw HTML, preserving the character
 references as syntax instead of decoding them as text.

 {{{
 [Log] {theTitle: "… is Λ"} (inline-edit-post.js,
 line 210)
 [Log] {theTitle: "x < 2 & y > 3…"} (inline-edit-post.js,
 line 210)
 }}}

 WordPress is double-encoding the post titles when sending them to the
 admin page, causing the display error. The raw value in the database is
 proper, e.g. `… is Λ`.
