You really want $html{$field{sample}} for the first occurrence there,
so that characters get escaped properly ($highlight does this as well
as highlighting).

This (untested) approach should spot any phrase (including ones from
hyphenation, etc):

$if{$find{$list{$querydescription},PHRASE},$html{$field{sample}},$highlight{$field{sample},$terms}}$if{$field{sample},...}

Yes, it would be good to handle this.  Can you open a ticket please?
