Well, it definitely should be in PAGE TSconfig, not USER... Did you
try it in the TSconfig box in the page header of your root page?

It sure sounds RTE related somehow or other; your content is getting
htmlspecialchar-ed by an RTE transformation, and you don't necessarily
have to have an RTE working to have transformations - try <LINK
http://www.typo3.org>Typo3</LINK> in a text content element when the
RTE is not installed...

It's complicated; apparently html entities are converted to characters
going IN to the db, and from characters coming OUT (see
RTE.default.proc.dontUndoHSC_db in Page TSconfig docs [1]).

In any case, looking on the same page makes me thing that you may need to try:

RTE.default.proc.dontHSC_rte = 1

Incidentally, I _think_ it's Page TSconfig (it might be 'User' or
both) that is not necessarily unset by removing a previously set
value. You may need to explicitly unset previous settings. If you
check the 'Configuration' part of the 'Tools' module in the BE, you
can see Page and User TSconfig in nice, easy to read trees. If the
setting above still doesn't help, have a look through the tree and
look for 'HSC'. Since you have two installs, one with and one without
the problem, it'd also be worth comparing the tree views in the two
different installations to see if there are any suspicious
differences.

I was kidding ;^)
