This has been reported previously, for example bug 138965,
"JavaScript 'entities' not working correctly"

That bug, in turn, was marked a duplicate of (wontfix) bug 9567,
"Need JavaScript-entity support in the content sink".

I will do the same here. Keith, thank you for this report.
Any further comments should be made to bug 9567 -
