Comment:

 The problem is in `json_encode( esc_js( ) )`:

 {{{
 $string = "Foo'bar \"Hello\"";
 var_dump( ( esc_js( $string ) ); // string(26) "Foo\'bar "Hello""
 var_dump( json_encode( esc_js( $string ) ) ); // string(29) ""Foo\\'bar
 "Hello"""
 var_dump( json_encode( $string ); // string(19) ""Foo'bar \"Hello\"""
 var_dump( esc_js( json_encode( $string ) ) ); // string(38) ""Foo\'bar
 "Hello"""
 }}}
