Firefox does that:

<textarea>
<p>
</textarea>

But not for

<textarea>
</textarea>
</textarea>

:-)

But, like I said, the contents here are defined to be PCDATA, so this is
just Firefox (and probably Chrome, too) just being generous and trying
to interpret as they guess the writer intended.

HTML-mode also highlights the <p> as if it's a tag...  which it is,
even if Firefox doesn't interpret it as such.

So I think, on the whole, that html-mode does everything correctly here,
and I'm closing this bug report.
