Tag excerpts on MSE and MSO contains HTML paragraph tags

Question

When hovering over the tag you can see that the excerpt is enclosed by paragraph tags (just hover over the tags on this question as a test).

Which kind of makes sense as if you look at the tag info you can see it:

However, looking at the tag excerpt history, it's not there:

So where has the <p>...</p> come from all of a sudden?

Note: this affects all tags in several sites, e.g. here on MSE and on Stack Overflow.

@ShadowWizard I'm not sure it does affect all tags across all sites. SF&F and CR for instance seem to be fine (their main and meta)... — Jon Clements

Weird. Well, edited, just assumed that if it's both here and on SO, it affects all sites — user152859

There was a bug in the post rebaking code. It didn't exclude tag wiki excerpts from the Markdown processing pipeline.

MSE and MSO and SO have already been fixed.
