Replying to Steve_p:
When using $menu_item->menu_title directly, you need to use esc_html() to encode HTML entities correctly.
Or, as wp_nav_menu() and his Walker, do apply_filters( 'the_title', $menu_item->menu_title, $menu_item->ID ).

Thanks for the report and sorry for taking so long to get back to you. This does not seem to be a bug. When using $menu_item->menu_title directly, you need to use esc_html() to encode HTML entities correctly.
