Comment (by maxcutler):

 The code part of 22936.1.diff looks correct to me. The reason that the
 unit test is failing is that the particular option it uses
 (`blog_title`/`blogname`) gets HTML-escaped in `sanitize_option`, so the
 single-quote gets converted to its HTML entity encoding.

 The test needs to be updated to expect the HTML encoding. Might be worth
 adding a test case for some other option that doesn't get run through
 `esc_html`.
