Comment (by ryan):

 WP_Widget::update_callback() already stripslashes_deep() $new_instance
 before it is passed along to each widget's update() handlers. The handful
 of places in default-widgets.php where stripslashes() is run in update()
 seem to be holdovers from pre WP_Widget days. Removing them and changing
 update_callback() to use wp_unslash().
