Comment(by hailin):

 I think the underlying reason is that
 we always assume PHP directive magic_quotes_gpc is on, since it's on by
 default.
 Therefore, for any piece of post data, the outer layer of insertion
 functions  strips off \ to produce the 'clean' data.

 Then in several cases (#9199 and this case, and perhaps #9727), data is
 actually read from db, so it is already clean. In order to make the above
 logic work, we need to arbitrarily add \

 In my opinion, PHP magic_quotes_gpc is the root of these types of troubles
 :)
