They are actually *highlighted* as "error" by pygments.

The reason seems to be, that you set the language to "python" but the code
block contains an interactive Python session or a doctest.
Pygments uses the language name "pycon" in this case:

.. code:: pycon

    >>> 'a' < 'b'
    True
    >>> type(5)
    <class 'int'>
    >>> type(5.0)
    <class 'float'>

works for me here.

Yes. Escaping only works in "parsed literal", but then you don't have syntax
highlight.
