Comment:

 Was able to replicate this on the latest version of trunk
 (4.4-beta4-35721). The issue stems from the `wpautop` function. It ends up
 breaking the content into multiple pieces and then wraps paragraphs around
 each piece. The last piece in this situation ends up being `</a></div>`,
 which we don't want paragraphs around that.

 I've added a patch that fixes this particular use case, basically it makes
 sure we don't wrap paragraphs around closing tags. I'm sure there's other
 ways to fix this so open to any suggestions.

 Also, could see this as being a don't-fix, as technically we don't want
 block level elements inside inline elements, which is what's happening
 here. I believe HTML5 does allow that though, so might be worth fixing.
