Comment(by ryan):

 The edit action in wp-admin/post.php fetches the post with
 get_post_to_edit(). This goes through the post sanitation and eventually
 calls format_to_edit() on the excerpt.  This escaped post object is pass
 to all of the meta boxes.  post_content, post_title, post_excerot, and
 post_password all get the format_to_edit() treatment.

 Aside: Perhaps format_to_edit() should use esc_textarea().
