Extra escaping of quotation marks in WordPress

[gnott]

CiviCRM 4.1 Beta3 running on WordPress adds extra escaping of single quotation marks and double quotation marks. PHP has magic quotes off on my example, and this can be reproduced on the sandbox site.

A previous example of this issue:
http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,22834.0.html

To reproduce, enter " or ' into a field and save it. Examples of fields:

• Contact detail fields
• From Email Address Options
• Option Groups fields
• Re-using a previous CiviMail mailing

The latter example, if you click on the Report of a sent mailing, the HTML message starts <table bgcolor=\"#f4fff4\"... Attached example of what happens re-using a mailing.

The Drupal version of CiviCRM 4.1 Beta3 does not do this.
