This problem occurs with all non-ASCII characters, not > merely with curved quotes. OK, so it's not a regression, in that Unicode chars have apparently long been copied and pasted incorrectly in this context. But Unicode chars were not used all over the place previously, which makes it a regression of sorts, in observed behavior. This will bite lots more users a lot more, even if the problem was potentially present previously as well. It's a bad bug, interfering considerably with usability, regardless of whether we want to call it a regression.
