Good to see others are running into this as well. There is another example of
the bug here:  http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244392     Bug #244392
I'm able to reproduce this problem with the steps in the bug report.

here's a simplified set of steps:

1)  compose a new html mail
2)  in the body, type "aaaaa", hit return, type "aaaaa"
3)  select all
4)  do "Format | Paragraph | Paragraph"
5)  put the cursor at the start of the second line
6)  hit backspace
7)  save as draft and view the html source of the draft

you'll get

<>aaaaa<br>
aaaaa</>

mscott, I hit this frequently enough to think it should block aviary 1.0.
