I'm a bit confused by this report, because the "actual" and "expected" values you mention look identical to me -- they're both "<foo>" (left-angle-bracket, "foo", right-angle-bracket). Also, could you point us to a place where this bug appears in Launchpad? That will help us greatly in debugging the problem.

The comment display has been altered. The actual msgid had (amperstand)(letter-l)(letter-t)(semicolon) and it was verbatim printed to the HTML page (without escaping (amperstand)).
