According to user2389905's comment on another answer: "This is due to the old editor used in tag wikis, profile descriptions, and election nomination posts. It will soon get replaced, hopefully."

same update as on that other post: Not an old editor, just me being silly. Got a fix up for review. Some more testing and a few critical eyes and I'm confident that it can go out early next week (after our build freeze is over).
