If you can change the PHP configuration, try turning off the 
"magic_quotes_gpc" option.Alternatively, try changing this bit of 
index.php:

if( isset( $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] ) ) {
	$title = stripslashes( substr( $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'], 1 ) );
} else {
	$title = stripslashes( $_REQUEST['title'] );
}

(the stripslashes calls aren't presently there).

Let me know if that clears it up, I'll get a 1.2.1 out soon...
