Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 cross posting here too:

 Replying to jamescollins the wp trac:
 > The change in WPMU has been running on our WPMU installs for a few weeks
 and it seems to have fixed the problem.

 try feeding it stuff with a backslash... the correct patch is to:

 stripslashes(wp_filter_post_kses(addslashes(...)))

 wp_filter_post_kses() expects slashed data (it's normally used with a
 magic quoted $_POST), but $instance is stripslashed before it's fed to the
 widget's update method.
