Comment (by nofearinc):

 Slashing the password before calling `wp_install` fixes that for me.
 wp_install isn't called anywhere else in core from what I found, now the
 question is whether it should be slashed upfront or inside of the
 wp_install function (if we consider that other plugins are using the
 function and are probably slashing there already).

 Additional `wp_slash( wp_unslash( ... ) )` could be called inside, but I'm
 not sure how wise would that be (should be backwards compatible though).
