When you edit, quote, or quick-quote any posts that were imported from v6, varying degrees of the raw HTML is what shows up in the textbox. Quick Quote seems to be the worst, as it includes even
linebreaks and everything. Regular quoting, and editing, does correctly convert the
's back to newline chars, but it still shows, say, the full <img src="..."> tag for any smilies/graemlins in the post, rather than the graemlin code.

I dunno whether this is because of how data was stored in v6, or how it was imported into v7, but it's something you may want to look into. Because this could break a lot of posts if people edit/quote them, as posting raw HTML will be turned off the vast majority of the time.

It is limited to imported posts, though. I created a new post from within v7 and editing/quoting worked as intended.

Hmm, we do try to undo all the markup tags when importing so we get back to the original post before markup was added. Looks like there are a few issues left I need to work on. Thanks for the info.

Basically, in version 7 we store 2 copies of the post, one that is marked up for display purposes, and 1 that is exactly the way the user entered it. This allows for more flexibility in the markup tags like the syntax highlighting.
