i think i just found this and resolved it.  The transition to git is
already paying off :)  

I created a throwaway trac instance and verified that the problem was
happening.  looking at the list of javascript files being used (via
iceweasel's built-in javascript debugger), i saw "blame.js" which seemed
to be a likely suspect for this specific functionality.

To see what changed, i did:

0 dkg at alice:/tmp/trac$ git diff wheezy master --  trac/htdocs/js/blame.js
diff --git a/trac/htdocs/js/blame.js b/trac/htdocs/js/blame.js
index 4879909..ff50eef 100644
--- a/trac/htdocs/js/blame.js
+++ b/trac/htdocs/js/blame.js

               message.find("div.inlinebuttons").next().css("clear", "right");
   
             show();
-          });
+          }, 'html');
         } else if (message_is_visible) {
           hide();
         } else {
0 dkg at alice:/tmp/trac$ 

then i went to look up this line in upstream:

http://trac.edgewall.org/browser/trunk/trac/htdocs/js/blame.js?annotate=blame#L96

This brought me to http://trac.edgewall.org/changeset/10593

I included that whole 2-line changeset in debian/patches, rebuilt the
package, and tested with the same throwaway trac instance; it works fine
now, so 0.12.5-3 is on its way into unstable.
