Comment (by markjaquith):

 All my testing indicates that {{{$_SERVER}}} '''is''', in fact, quoted by
 {{{magic_quotes_gpc}}}

 There are a limited number of HTTP headers you can inject quotes into just
 by using a browser, so I opened up a telnet session and injected quotes
 everywhere that I could (without invalidating the HOST, for example) and
 found that all these places were slashed when {{{magic_quotes_gpc}}} was
 on.

 I'm running PHP 4.3.10-16

 The PHP documentation on this is wrong, or at best, incomplete.

 Was the alleged vulnerability with $_SERVER ever tested?  I don't see a
 ticket associated with the commit.  It could have just been submitted to
 security at wordpress.org
