Comment (by boonebgorges):

 >  I'm not that familiar with core but to me it looks like
 wp_magic_quotes() in wp-includes\load.php so when you call is_email(
 $_POST[ 'email' ] ) on an email with an apostrophe/single quote it will
 also contain a backslash.

 Yes, but how are you getting to this point? Where in the interface are you
 entering the problematic email address? If you could provide specific
 details to reproduce, it'd be helpful.
