New submission from tylerjohnhughes: The escape function appears to go through the list in multiple passes, replacing characters as it encounters them on each pass, rather than traversing the source string and replacing matches in the entities dict. This results in invalid escape strings if a replacement value contains one of the replacement entities. I've attached a file to reproduce the behavior.
