Yeah, this is a recent spec change that hasn't made its way to code yet.

Spec rev: http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=4958&to=4959 I pushed a test case to the html5lib repo: http://code.google.com/p/html5lib/source/diff?spec=svn9400c96b0f8fe2810350fd65df739a40e9daee9e&r=9400c96b0f8fe2810350fd65df739a40e9daee9e&format=side&path=/testdata/tokenizer/entities.test We are supposed to pull the html5lib tests into m-c eventually, but that has been in a limbo for quite some time now.
