 The escape character, \, gets clobbered by 'Restore This Revision'.  This
 bug looks like a partial regression of #9199 though, on this occasion,
 posts containing backslashes can be saved all right — it's only on restore
 that the backslashes are stripped.  No idea if the causes are similar.

 \ is important for embedded scripts such as those generated by
 http://w2.syronex.com/jmr/safemailto/.

 How to reproduce:
 Create a Page with the content:

 \'escaped quotes\'

 save; modify and save; then restore/revert that earlier save.  The result
 will be:

 'escaped quotes'

 This bug is present in 3.9.1, but not 3.8.2.
