Apex 4.2 Report region sql query with "apex_item.text" renders wrongly

Question

In APEX 4.2 page i have created region "Report data".
Type="SQl Query".
"User Interface"-->"Template"="Reports Region".
"Region Source"="select apex_item.text(1, '111') as c1 from dual".
Actually the select query is little bit more complex, but generally simplified it is such, that it uses function "select apex_item.text" to construct HTML textfield.
If i run in Sql Developer query
select apex_item.text(1, '111') as c1 from dual;Then result is:
<input type="text" name="f01" size="20" maxlength="2000" value="111"  />But in APEX 4.2 the report is rendered so:
<td  headers="c1">&lt ;input type=&quot ;text&quot ; name=&quot;f01&quot; size=&quot;20&quot; maxlength=&quot;2000&quot; value=&quot;111&quot;  /&gt ;</td>(for this forum to display correctly i had to put extra spaces between" &gt" and ";" and so on)
And APEX 4.2 shows ugly html inside report cell/slot for me, displaying characters/symbols ">". The reason is that APEX HTML page source does not have symbol ">" but has " &gt ;" .
In APEX 3 i have similar query working well, without such anomaly.
What attribute should i change in APEX 4.2 region to display my query result as needed?
I need that function "apex_item.text", i cannot remove it.
