 This is related to #27601.

 Since 3.9 it's not possible anymore to use wp_editor on a textarea with
 brackets in the name.


 {{{
 <textarea name="foo[bar]"></textarea>
 }}}

 However, using brackets in the name is perfectly valid afaik, and helps to
 add the texteditor's content to a set of variables, sent with a form.

 So, simply telling the user that this does not work does not seem to be a
 valid fix to me.

 Am i missing something? Is there a known workaround which does not require
 modifying the whole database of already saved meta data?
