Comment (by redsweater):

 For what it's worth, I just reproduced this with the latest trunk sources.
 I think that perhaps the test @sukhendu2002 performed made it appear that
 the bug is fixed because an entity encoding was created by the web admin
 interface when creating the post. When using the XMLRPC API, for example,
 to send a post to the blog, the "<" character is still allowed to reach
 the database, whereupon the bug can be observed.

 I don't know that it's necessarily worth fixing after all these years, but
 the bug still exists.
