Tristan recently fixed this: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97061#c31
Tristan: I owe you a big favorite drink of your choice...

I would like to start a GNOME Goal for this longer term:
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/RemoveMarkupInMessages
Please fill in with affected modules, comments, how to fix, etc and
other details.

Might not be doable in the GNOME 2.26 time frame though, unless many
modules can be resolved in time for the string freeze at February 16th
