Comment (by thommo):

 This also affects password resets for emails with apostrophes.
 get_password_reset_key calls wp_update_user with the new
 user_activation_key. However the call to add_magic_quotes in
 wp_update_user results in a slash being added to the email and then, when
 wp_update_user calls wp_insert_user, the $user_email !==
 $old_user_data->user_email therefore the user_activation_key is cleared,
 so the link with the user_activation_key sent to the user will not work.
