[BUG] Stray divs in HTML export [9.6.15 (release_9.6.15 @ /home/jm/.local/share/emacs/30.0.50/lisp/org/)]

The closing <div>s inside HTML comment blocks appear outside the
comment which makes the exported HTML invalid. For example:

  #+title: Stray div demo

  Hello.

  #+html: <!--

  * Heading
  ** Subheading

  #+html: -->

  Goodbye.

Produces this HTML (cleaned up to make it easier to read, see
attached for original files):

  <p>Hello.</p>
  <!--
  <div>
  <h2>Heading</h2>
  <div>
  </div>
  <div>
  <h3>Subheading</h3>
  <div>
  -->
  <p>Goodbye.</p>
  </div>
  </div>
  </div>

Your example is using direct HTML formatting.
It is user responsibility that direct HTML is valid and plays well with
the rest of the document.

Org provides the power to insert arbitrary HTML into the output, but
this power comes with responsibility to ensure correctness.

Not a bug.
Canceled.
