 Hi @loopy255,

 Welcome to trac and thanks for the ticket!

 Unfortunately, the metadata APIs are one of the APIs that expect slashed
 data. If you're manually constructing a value passed to the metadata APIs
 from unslashed data, then you must call `wp_slash` before passing the
 value to the metadata APIs.

 This is documented inline to the function, but isn't explicitly mentioned
 in the function's PHP docs. See #41593.
