It seems wherever we output <a> element, it is being shown as HTML code.

Confirmed on simplewiki

It looks like the messages are getting escaped during export to JavaScript code...

mw.messages.values['wikieditor-toolbar-help-content-ilink-result']
gives
"<a href='#'>Link label</a><br /><a href='#'>Page title</a>"

where it should be:
"<a href='#'>Link label</a><br /><a href='#'>Page title</a>"

Caused by r110045 -- reverted in r112526.
