OK. I was able to repro the issue myself on a base 2.9.1 install with no plugins and the default theme. The ticket is here. We’ll see what happens!

I’m sure it *should* be possible without broken tags, but I think a bug in WordPress is preventing this from happening.

If somebody here has the time, we need to file an actual bug report so that the developers see it. This probably involves creating a set of instructions to make it break starting from a known-good setup. Perhaps the WordPress MU installation on www.remarpro.com is the easiest place to do this.

Is anyone interested in doing this? (I’m afraid that I don’t have a lot of free time right now!)

I’m having the same problem too on my self-hosted blog (running the current WP 2.8.6).

As a real kicker, I even got it to break as you described with the WordPress MU installation running at WordPress.com!

So given the above, it’s not just you, and I will speculate that it’s not (directly) the fault of your plugins or themes!

Thanks for the workaround!

Done as #10455.

That’s a good suggestion. I just tried it, and yes, it’s still broken when using the default theme.
