Comment:

 Not sure why this has been closed, since the bug is still present in
 emerging 3.3 (http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-
 includes/meta.php#L118). And while referenced tickets are related, they do
 not exactly cover mentioned bug. meta_value is stripslashed twice for meta
 that is being added (not updated) - here:
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/meta.php#L118 and
 then here: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-
 includes/meta.php#L47. This effectively strips off all slashes, even those
 that are meant to stay on the string.
