Do you mean  realy  the  string  "<------>"  or  do  you  mean  the  RED
Hilighting?

I am using "mc" since over 9 years  now  and  I  have  NEVER  seen  this
behaviour except in editing a "Makefile" since it is in

----[ '/usr/share/mx/syntax/makefile.syntax' ]--------------------------

context default
    keyword $(*) yellow
    keyword ${*} brightgreen
<snip>
    keyword linestart \t lightgray red
