It's not fixed in CVS (ruby_1_8 branch):

$ ruby -v yaml-bug.rb 
ruby 1.8.4 (2006-05-09) [i686-linux]
/home/batsman/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `load': syntax error on line 5, col 4: `    <dt>From: Yukihiro Matsumoto &lt;matz at' (ArgumentError)
        from /home/batsman/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `load'
        from yaml-bug.rb:7
$ cat yaml-bug.rb 
require 'yaml'

bug=[{:content=>"\n\n <dl>\n<dt>From: Yukihiro Matsumoto &lt;matz at
ruby-lang.org&gt;</dt>"}]

dumped=YAML.dump(bug)
p YAML::load( dumped )
