Appears that message is being stripped of HTML on comment display

Was about to post this, but found this one first:

This issue the links are fine:
http://drupal.org/node/298600
This one the html gets escaped:
http://drupal.org/node/299088

i don't experience this issue on my test install using the garland theme. what d.o specific setting would be doing this?

On the two links above, both now appear fine as well, I've not seen the error crop up anywhere else recently either.

http://drupal.org/node/2946#comment-864187 looks fine to me?

Critical as per:
http://drupal.org/node/329973

There are a few outstanding issues that need to be addressed before the maintenance

here's a patch i applied to PIFT server on d.o to inspect the raw XML-RPC response from testing.drupal.org. hopefully this will help

Killes was kind enough to dump a row of the pift_data table on d.o:

mysql> select * from pift_data where cid = 864187;
+-------+-------+------+--------+------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+--------+------------+
| ftid  | fid   | nid  | cid    | uid  | display_data

--> The issue appears to be on the testing.drupal.org side.

yes, we've known that the database entries were incomplete for awhile now. we've also determined that the raw xmlrpc we get back from testing.drupal.org always contains the escaped angle brackets -- so the current theory is that we're losing them in xmlrpcs.inc somewhere.

Subscribing. This has hit the majority of patches I've been working on.

update: chx and i ran some of the raw xml data through xmlrpcs.inc manually, and had zero problems. at this point i have no idea what else to check :|

it seems like the < and > are getting lost early in the process on t.d.o (or doesn't get added at all)

someone needs to check exactly when that is happening (trace?)

@alexanderpas: read #12

here's an updated version of the hack i had on d.o to catch an XML-RPC response
