Comment:

 Hey @jasonmader, Welcome to Trac, and thanks for bringing this up!

 I was able to reproduce the issue. However, the behavior I noticed was
 slightly different from that of yours, here are the details -

 Test Environment -
 - WordPress Version: 6.7
 - Theme: Twenty Twenty-Five
 - Browser: Google Chrome 131.0.6778.85

 Entering the HTML -
 {{{
 <a href="/">Link</a>

 <a href="/"><figure>Link</figure></a>
 }}}

 Result -

 {{{
 <p><a href="/">Link</a></p>
 <p><a href="/"></a></p>
 <a href="/"><figure>Link</figure></a>
 <p><a href="/"></a></p>
 }}}


 Screenshot -

 Additional empty anchor tags are being generated and wrapped in paragraph
 tags. The behavior differs from the originally reported output where the
 anchor tag was being split around the figure element.
