No, it should not.  But it is costly to parse for all these
special places, and in order to keep the agenda reasonably fast,
this is one of the compromises.
I guess such a case is not very frequent, and I usually work around  
them by inserting a space between the opening angular bracket and the  
time stamp:

#+begin_example
,* test
    SCHEDULED: < 2010-10-10 Sun>
#+end_example

That successfully breaks the timestamp parser, but still
conveys reasonably well what is meant.
