LaTeX formulas not rendered correctly in summary

+3
−0

I've noticed that the question preview of several questions on the Q&A page contains “misplaced &” with yellow background, which turns out to be a MathJax error. However opening one of them shows that the post itself is just fine.

However the formula that doesn't correctly show up in the preview contains a larger-than sign. And using “show LaTeX source” on the error message in the messages list shows p&gt;0 here.
