outputField formula with with HYPERLINK() does not display correctly

We have a custom text formula field on opportunity that looks like this:
HYPERLINK("www.google.com", "Click Here")
 
When you try to display this field on a visualforce page it displays the entire HTML code rather than "Click Here":
<apex:page standardController="Opportunity">
    <apex:pageBlock mode="view">
        <apex:pageBlockSection >
            <apex:outputField value="{!Opportunity.Hyperlink_Test__c}" />
        </apex:pageBlockSection>
    </apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>
 
Displays:
<a href="www.google.com" target="_blank">Click Here</a> 
 
Looks like a potential bug.
 
-Thanks,
Jason

I am seeing this bug still in Spring '12.  I have opened a case with Salesforce about it.
