Hi there, welcome back to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the patch.

I think the current code is correct, see the note for the ​strip_tags() function in the PHP Manual:

Self-closing XHTML tags are ignored and only non-self-closing tags should be used in allowed_tags. For example, to allow both <br> and <br/>, you should use:

<?php
strip_tags($input, '<br>');
?>

@SergeyBiryukov is correct: ​https://3v4l.org/nvbKe

I agree with close.

@SergeyBiryukov,

If <br /> is not valid way to close <br> tag you can use <br/> tag as accordingly to WordPress coding standards <br/> is valid way to self-closing tag with strip_tags() function.
