when adding or editing a text field in the profile module in ImpressCMS 1.3.3 and later, the filtering comments are not stripped out appropriately. See http://community.impresscms.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=5588

We can adjust for this behavior in the output of the fields in this module, but there is currently no good alternative to saving the tags in the database with the content.
