Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Thanks for the PR!

 Looks like it might have unintended consequences though, as some options,
 e.g. `blog_public`, actually rely on `null` being passed to
 `update_option()` if the option was not sent to `options.php` see [21849]
 and [21851] / #16416.

 I believe we can specifically check if `gmt_option` is a string in
 `sanitize_option()`, see [attachment:"57728.diff"].
