Verified, still the case.
This is a bit lower priority for us as it 'only' produces a syntactic diff- the content does not really change. We'll see how far we get with selective serialization, and might add extra support for this if that is not sufficient.
Do you see any situations where this could be an issue beyond producing a dirty diff?

Yes. <span title="&amp;">a</span> round trips to <span title="&">a</span> which is a different attribute.

Patch pushed for review in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/43859/. In attributes, this patch does not preserve unnecessary entities like a bare '&' escaped to &. It can thus still cause syntactic diffs, but will avoid semantic diffs.
The patch also adds escaping for newly created entity-like text content.
