Hi!
I happened to stumble on the following entry in changelog for 6.0.19:
<fix>
Fix various edge-cases when parsing EL, particularly inside attribute
values. Note that the Expert Group has confirmed that JSP.1.6 takes
precedence over JSP.1.3.10. Therefore EL in attributes must be escaped
twice. (markt)
</fix>
Chapters mentioned here:
JSP.1.6 Quoting and Escape Conventions
JSP.1.3.10.1 EBNF Grammar for JSP Syntax

So apparently the change in EL escaping in attributes that was done
while fixing BZ 57136 [1] has already been discussed and resolved in a
different way 7 years ago.
