extjs getTip() Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability

A XSS vulnerability exists in the getTip() method of Action Columns.

The Ext JS framework brings no built-in XSS protection, meaning that
developers are responsible for sanitizing their output. However. the method
above takes HTML-escaped data and un-escapes it. Therefore if the tooltip
contains user-controlled data a XSS is possible.

A fiddle demonstrating the issue can be found here:
