at first glance, it looks like a parser bug to me :-/

but i need to spend some more time before i'm sure...

i find that this is always a tricky call: a small minority of
application may require the raw text but most users want a friendly
transparent API to hide these details. certainly, access to the
unescaped should be easy for applications. i'm tempted just to provide
unescaped text from the current call.
