7.5.1 Pro Case description shows html-encoding

A case created from email containing code:

RegionPlot[x <= 1/Sqrt[2], {x, -5, 1}, {y, -3, 3}]

displays in the Case description as:

RegionPlot[x &lt;= 1/Sqrt[2], {x, -5, 1}, {y, -3, 3}] 

If I set 'type'='>html' in record.php the < displays correctly but I loose all line breaks.
Currently the repair.php entry for Case.description is:

               
        array (
          'name' => 'description',
          'nl2br' => true,
          'span' => 12,
        ),
