Comment (by sabernhardt):

 @deon-b Thanks for the ticket! I see the same replacement can happen for
 empty anchor tags in 5.2 and 5.3 as well, but I found workarounds.

 So either of these, on its own line (in the text editor), would be
 replaced by the non-breaking space for an empty paragraph when switching
 back and forth:

 {{{
 <span id="empty1"></span>

 <a id="empty2"></a>
 }}}

 However, any of the options below should retain the ID/name attribute, so
 then links go directly to that paragraph (or heading).

 {{{
 <h2 id="option1">A heading with ID attribute</h2>

 <p id="option2">A paragraph with ID attribute for an anchor link to skip
 to here.</p>

 <span id="option3"></span>A paragraph with an anchor link's target at the
 beginning.

 <a id="option4"></a>Another paragraph, with an anchor tag.

 <span id="option5"></span>
 This paragraph has an anchor link's target at the beginning, with a line
 break between that and the text.

 <a id="option6"></a>
 This also adds a line break after the anchor tag and before the text of
 this paragraph.

 <a name="option7"></a>
 }}}
