Comment (by ericmann):

 Fair enough. Will take a look at the other ticket.

 The question remains, tho, if we are escaping & to & for storage, do
 we need to escape before querying by the name? Considering get_term_by()
 expects already escaped data, we should be escaping on both ends.

 This is beyond just fixing kses...
