1. Sign In
2. View the page's HTML source

You'll see something like the following

<a href="http://localhost?p_p_id=com_liferay_knowledge_base_web_portlet_AdminPortlet">
    <span class="company-details">
        <img alt="" class="company-logo" src="/image/company_logo?img_id=0&t=1464774685838" />
        <span class="company-name">Liferay</span>
    </span>
    <a href="javascript&#x3a;&#x3b;" class="icon-monospaced sidenav-close visible-xs-block" >
        <svg class="lexicon-icon lexicon-icon-times" role="img" title="" >
            <use xlink:href="http://localhost/o/admin-theme/images/lexicon/icons.svg#times" />
	</svg>
	<span class="taglib-icon-label"></span>
    </a>
</a>

Notice that the second <a> tag is opened before the first <a> tag is closed.

This problem is in modules/apps/web-experience/product-navigation/product-navigation-product-menu-web/src/main/resources/META-INF/resources/portlet/view.jsp. There's an <aui:icon> tag (which generates an <a> tag) inside of an <a>.
