LDAP Servers: LDAP tokens are escaped before they're saved which causes them to be double escaped when rendered

We're using the LDAP modules to provision Drupal accounts via feeds and when a user logs in. We then built a staff directory using the views module and quickly discovered that characters such as ampersands were being double escaped when rendered by views or by the default user profile page.

For example one of the attributes we're using is department. Saving an LDAP user with department of "Foo & Bar" gets saved to the database escaped:

mysql> select * from field_data_field_department\G
....
*************************** 2. row ***************************
            entity_type: user
                 bundle: user
                deleted: 0
              entity_id: 17898
            revision_id: 17898
               language: und
                  delta: 0
 field_department_value: FOO & BAR
field_department_format: NULL

However when views and the user profile renders that field it escapes it again and renders:

  <div class="field field-name-field-department field-type-text field-label-inline inline">
    FOO &amp;amp; BAR  </div>
