WP converting backslash in code to html entity

Hi,

I’m running a Genesis child theme.

I have everything set up – the installation was smooth and the plug in looks great – but when I publish the page with the Google experiment code on, a backslash is being converted to an HTML entity and the script is failing validation with the error message:

“Original:Possibly broken experiment code found here: line:5, column:1”

The offending part is this. Here’s the original:

'" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"><\/sc'+'ript>')})();

Here’s the same line after being published:

'" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"><\/sc'+'ript>')})();

Ah. Unfortunately the htmlentity is being converted back by the browser or forum software. But hopefully you get the idea.

Here’s a link to the original of the A/B experiment:

Any idea on how I can stop WP converting the backslash? I’ve tried publishing whilst in text editor but to no avail.

Thanks

Paul
