I'm suffering from my habit of using pseudo-HTML in normal writing. The gap in that comment was a <pause>. Which LJ thought was HTML.

I use the same symbols. Technically they're not HTML, they're just BNF non-terminals. The idea being that you're not saying "pause", the reader has to imagine a pause for themselves.
The fix for this is to type:
<pause&gt;
instead of
<pause>
.
