Comment (by jdeep):

 @SirLouen,

 For the second part, I believe there is no way to prevent slashing
 prematurely and the only way to do it is to un-slash in
 `send_confirmation_on_profile_email`. On a related note, Is there any
 reason of escaping an email address [https://github.com/WordPress
 /wordpress-develop/blob/946649af8db44b4c969c092d2f77643a1dc2ec4e/src/wp-
 admin/user-edit.php#L113 like it is done here]? This breaks email
 addresses with special characters. Shouldn't
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/sanitize_email/
 sanitize email] be a better choice?
