img tags within links are encoded as HTML entities

This particular occurs on my instance for badges, e. g.

[![DOI](https://zenodo.org/badge/458130867.svg)](https://zenodo.org/badge/latestdoi/458130867)\

generates

<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://zenodo.org/badge/latestdoi/458130867">&lt;img src="https://zenodo.org/badge/458130867.svg" alt="DOI" /&gt;</a>

instead of

<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://zenodo.org/badge/latestdoi/458130867"><img src="https://zenodo.org/badge/458130867.svg" alt="DOI" /></a>

Setting $escape = true solves the problem (see docs) - would that be a solution?
