My bug, my blame.

The history of this bug is that we allow pretty much all HTML in messages, preferring to filter out what's not allowed rather than rendering only the tags that are allowed (as opposed to other sites that allow only a small subset of tags). We very quickly realised that we needed to filter out all the bad bits (as you saw), however, we were careful to only filter out bad bits that were actually in live tags.

So <a onclick=...

would not be subject to a filter, since it would render safely, but

<a onclick=...

was subject to the filter, since it was live and dangerous.

but over time we then added auto-HTML-encoding of tags within PRE blocks so that if someone entered HTML tags without HTML encoding them, they would render correctly. At this point I forgot to switch the filtering out to happen after auto-encoding, instead of before. Simple fix, and I'm sure many appreciate you raising the issue.
cheers,
