Comment (by SirLouen):

 @wildworks I've reviewed the unit tests, and they don't look good to me.

 Also I've run a XML validation test
 https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/warning/ContainsHTML.html
 It appears that HTML entities in titles are not recommended by the
 standard.

 I've added a new PR ([https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/10463 10463]), with slightly improved tests (taking advantage
 of already made tests just to introduce this specific scenario)

 PS: Rather than adding that sachinraj bro to props, I would ban the guy
 from Trac. He has been adding [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/my-
 comments/all?USER=sachinrajcp123 a dozen+ useless patches] all over the
 place (plus the ones already removed), just adding no value or copying
 already existing patches. Not sure if the guy is aura farming this way, he
 is simply clueless, or he has gone wild. The fact is that he has been
 confusing many testers, that saw his patch as the last added to many
 tickets and thought it was the patch to test mistakenly. It's not 100% his
 fault, because testers should be more aware of what they are testing, but
 especially newbs or new contributors in contributor days are being
 confused by the person. Anyway, it's going to be funny to see the
 gentleman with a couple of props by the end of the period. Maybe he wants
 to be the living proof of the dubious utility of the system. Just making
 you aware of this situation.
