Comment (by azaozz):

 17004.2.diff looks good, I was with the impression that similar
 functionality already was in jQuery. Maybe consider opening an enhancement
 ticket on jQuery's trac, it would be useful to have a native way of
 escaping selectors as that's a limitation in jQuery (in HTML option value
 can contain CDATA).

 However I think #10030 and [13539] that brought this issue in the first
 place can be optimized a bit. Perhaps that block of code can be simplified
 to compare the user entered values instead of repeatedly checking for
 duplicates in the already created `<option value="...">`.
