Does this exist in 2.5.0? Can you explain how to reproduce this issue please?

  • version changed from 2.2.2 to 2.5.0

Yup, it's still there. Put an opening angle bracket somewhere in your info (any field goes) and see how all the text following it disappears. If you supply valid HTML tags, it will render them, e.g., you can make your nickname bold, color, etc. Sounds like quite a feature, huh? :-) Only ICQ is affected. XMPP and IRC work fine.
