Comment:

 @pento is offline on planes at present, but I'm going to leave this for
 him. The change in question was an update to HyperDB, reverting it isn't
 really something I want to do at this point for fear of breaking something
 else..

 As it's not happening consistently, I'm guessing this has something to do
 with whether the DB is connected by the post-write action or something
 else prior to it (possibly to a different DB entirely?), although I'm not
 sure why that should matter..

 If I had to guess, I'd suspect this is caused by `_real_escape()` when
 another DB is connected pre-write.
