We've seen that error once before the problem was a random stray "<container type="Box">1</container>" in the collection level description. I don't know that you'd have the exact same thing in there, but maybe you have something random in a place it shouldn't
be in that EAD.</div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">So, this isn’t actually an error about a character entity – those character entities are the result of a Ruby error being double-escaped in HTML.<br>
<br>
The error actually being emitted is:<br>
<br>
"#<NoMethodError: undefined method `instances' for #<#<Class:0x3471635c>:0x2346a459>\nDid you mean? instance_of?>"</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Where that’s coming from, I’m not sure, unfortunately – is that the full error message?</p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">When I try to run the background job of Import Data, EAD I get the following error:</p>
