Comment (by dcavins):

 Hi @MattGeri- I've tested your suggestion, and it works for textured text,
 but fails when updating booleans
 (`test_update_value_return_success_response_when_updating_boolean_values_no_change()`
 here:
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/42069/42069.2.diff)

 I've added a test that includes a single quote per your suggestion. Any
 other feedback is welcome--it'd be great to have comprehensive tests of
 cases we know fail.

 Without the change, all three of my test cases fail. :(
