Comment(by westi):

 Ok looking back in time I am sure this used to work fine.

 It turns out that I think this was broken by [11380] where Mark switched
 out wp_specialchars for esc_html - this changed the default behaviour to
 encode quotes when wp_specialchars defaulted to not encoding quotes.

 Unfortunately this functionality runs when the data is store in the db so
 even if we were to revert that a lot of people would still see the issue.

 So it looks like we do need to undo this work in the relevant places where
 we want in non-html - we should however use {{{wp_specialchars_decode}}}
 rather than {{{html_entity_decode.}}}
