Looks to me like problem with the htmlSpecialChars property: You're bodytext is going through htmlSpecialChars twice. 
Probably once from the rte to the db and then from the db to the fe. try disabling htmlSpecialChars in your rte. Add the 
following lines to your page tsconfig:

RTE.default.proc.entryHTMLparser_db = 1
RTE.default.proc.entryHTMLparser_db.htmlSpecialChars = -1
