Comment:

 The above patch does not work, but if you modify the function
 wp_filter_post_kses() it seems to solve the problem.

 In wp-includes/kses.php
 Line: 1065

 '''Original Code:'''

 function wp_filter_post_kses($data) {
  global $allowedposttags;
  return addslashes ( wp_kses(stripslashes( $data ), $allowedposttags) );
 }

 '''Change To:'''

 function wp_filter_post_kses($data) {
  global $allowedposttags;
  return wp_kses(stripslashes( $data ), $allowedposttags);
 }

 Just remove addslashes() function from the original function.
