Comment (by boonebgorges):

 > I'm experiencing this issue when trying to edit a user using the
 standard WordPress interface, not through any custom code. We use a custom
 interface for adding users so I don't know if the error occurs there as
 well. is_email( $_POST[ 'email' ] ) is called on line 154 of wp-admin
 \user-edit.php

 Aha. So the problem here is probably that we should be stripping slashes
 from the $_POST data before running through `is_email()`, *not* that we
 should be accepting slashed data in `is_email()`. Let's leave the ticket
 open for further testing.
