Not an answer, but an observation on my part of a similar behaviour: On my box, the "first" load of the issue would display the right thing (substituting the proper text for all the escape characters), but if, say, I type in an invalid username/password combo, login will wait a few seconds (like it is told to do) and display the banner again. But this time, the escaped characters will be displayed like what you have there. But if I once again log-in correctly, and then log-out, the banner displayed on that VC would be correct again. I can't figure out what's wrong either. W -- Man, I broke my G string trying to finger a minor... Now my guitar is useless.
