Comment (by theandystratton):

 I ran into this with a client a month ago, and finally got some time to
 investigate and create a patch.

 Actually, I'm attaching two patches, one for registration, the other for
 the admin user add/edit functions. Allows apostrophes (effectively
 stripping slashes from the email address).

 Should be safe since a double-quote invalidates is_email(). Hope this
 makes it in!
