For some reason, text in between angled brackets disappears completely from log output found in the processing execution dialog.

This behavior was observed on QGIS 2.18, on both Windows and Ubuntu.

A model file is supplied to demonstrate the problem. The steps found below have been executed with this model.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Create a model, include a raster calculator and build a conditional query with angle brackets: (A<50)*A*2+A*2*(A>=50)+(A<-9999)*0
2. Execute the algorithm. The output of a run I did is included hereafter: (see also the included picture for a marked one)

Algorithm demonstration_angle_brackets starting...
Prepare algorithm: GDALOGRRASTERCALCULATOR_1
Running Raster calculator [1/1]
Parameters: INPUT_A =||REDACTED||, BAND_A =1, INPUT_B =None, BAND_B =1, INPUT_C =None, BAND_C =1, INPUT_D =None, BAND_D =1, INPUT_E =None, BAND_E =1, INPUT_F =None, BAND_F =1, FORMULA =(A=50)+(A=, RTYPE =1, EXTRA =
GDAL command:
gdal_calc.py --calc "(A=50)+(A
GDAL command output:
0 .. 10 .. 20 .. 30 .. 40 .. 50 .. 60 .. 70 .. 80 .. 90 .. 100 - Done

3. Observe that in log output, the calculation reportedly executed is "(A=50)+(A", which is different from what was entered in the model before. Furthermore, the reported gdal_translate command is truncated altogether, which suggests that text sent to output is simply truncated from an open angle backet (<) onward.

4. Observe that the resulting raster map was calculated correctly.
