Creating a license match in text surrounded by '<' and '>' fails

[goneall]

The template var text <signature of<<var;name="sample-signee";original="Ty Coon";match="Ty Coon|Moe Ghoul">>> does not match <signature of Ty Coon> where as the template var text signature of<<var;name="sample-signee";original="Ty Coon";match="Ty Coon|Moe Ghoul">> matches signature of Ty Coon.

Attached is a template file and a text file to duplicate the problem:
