Periodically I notice random nodes on my site have been modified by something (not someone, as I'm the only person with access to edit content). HTML escape codes such as 
 are added, and line-breaks are removed from table rows and lists.

Today I noticed that this mysterious update coincided with a Link Checker link replacement -- it was enabled to automatically change links after a number of 301s were encountered.

Am I right in deducing that Link Checker itself is adding these codes, when it's permitted to update links on its own?

Not that I'm aware of and codewise, too. I strongly suggest you to enable revisions if you use auto update feature. In such a case you can also install Diff module and see what exactly has changed.

I suspect this 
 has been added by a WYSIWYG editor or a input filter...

Thanks. I do use revisioning and diff (and BUEditor) and codes like &#13 are all that changed, aside from line-breaks being removed. However, this only occurs when Link Checker is allowed to perform updates and never otherwise. Just changing the status again because I'm pretty sure the problem is isolated to Link Checker's auto update.

This is not caused by linkchecker. It can only be caused by an input filter. You need to debug this on your server.
