This sounds like a similar bug to the one for inserting images?? It had something to do with verifying it was a valid location by looking at the space to the immediate right of the insertion point...it found a < and said "nope".
I'm sure this one can be fixed very quickly. In the meantime you can continue using a period, or a space, or any character as a padding. I used a space because then the html clean function would automagically remove it.
