 I don't know if this should be posted here as a comment, or if a new
 ticket should be created, but this seems to happen with get_terms() also.
 If you choose to fetch by name but don't run esc_attr() first, it will not
 find a term with single quotes in it. One would think get_terms() would
 find a term inserted by wp_insert_term() without modifications.
