CSV import - hyperlinks stripped

It appears that while importing csv data with cells containing hyperlinks, Table Manager strips out the links. For example:

Imported CSV Code

Fruit,Number in bowl
"<a href=""http://en.wikipedia.org/watermelon"">Watermelon</a>",1
"<a href=""http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/orange%20(fruit)"">Orange</a>",2
"<a href=""http://en.wikipedia.org/grape"">Grape</a>",27

Resultant table code

<table bgcolor="white" class="tablemanager">

 <thead><tr><th type="1">Fruit</th><th type="1">Number in bowl
</th><th colspan="2">Operations</th> </tr></thead>
<tbody>
 <tr class="odd"><td><a>Watermelon</a></td><td>1</td><td><a href="/tablemanager/edit/1317">edit</a></td><td><a href="/tablemanager/delete/1317">delete</a></td> </tr>
 <tr class="even"><td><a>Orange</a></td><td>2</td><td><a href="/tablemanager/edit/1318">edit</a></td><td><a href="/tablemanager/delete/1318">delete</a></td> </tr>

 <tr class="odd"><td><a>Grape</a></td><td>27</td><td><a href="/tablemanager/edit/1319">edit</a></td><td><a href="/tablemanager/delete/1319">delete</a></td> </tr>
</tbody></table>

It's possible to edit the individual cells to correct the problem, but I wonder if there is a better workaround or a possible fix.
