Same problem in Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000. The problem occurs with native 
keyboard, hacker's keyboard and others. In place of less, system receives ESCn, 
and in place of greater, receives CTRL+b.

Please, is there a work-around while it is not fixed?

If I insert one of this symbols in a text-box out of the connectbot's shell and 
copy it, then I can paste into connectbot's shell and it will be recognized 
correctly.

Also see this on Nexus One with Android 2.3.6 and latest ConnectBot working 
copy although I instead see ESC h instead of < and ESC j instead of >

Looking at

http://code.google.com/p/connectbot/source/detail?r=9386994add488c34dfc81002d715
8eedd4b9c7d1

I see in the diffs for /src/org/connectbot/service/TerminalKeyListener.java :

59  +       // backport constants from api level 11
60  +       public final static int KEYCODE_ESCAPE = 111;
61  +       public final static int HC_META_CTRL_ON = 4096;

Perhaps HC_META_CTRL_ON doesn't behave as expected on Gingerbread and earlier?

Removing these lines in TerminalKeyListener.java resolves the problem.

    // no hard keyboard? ALT-k should pass through to below
    190     if ((orgMetaState & KeyEvent.META_ALT_ON) != 0 &&
    191     (!hardKeyboard || hardKeyboardHidden)) {
    192       key = 0;
    193     }
