HTML character references are appearing in XLSX exports for some characters

When I export a taxonomy term that has the & (ampersand) ' (single quote) and " (double quote) characters in it these chars get converted to their HTML representation in the XLSX file.

Example:
Looking & Back at Tennessee's (P)hotograph "C"ollection, 18.90-19;81
...gets exported to XLSX as:
Looking & Back at Tennessee's (P)hotograph "C"ollection, 18.90-19;81

I am able to use Excel wizardry to find&replace these HTML representations with the desired characters, but it would be much more helpful if these fields were exported "as is".
