SQL Escape problem in mythweb

Description
In MythWeb's custom recording schedule page I tried to change a power search I changed on of my listings from "ABC World News" to "ABC('s)? World News". After hitting submit I got the dreaded (for SQL injections) "There is an error in your custom SQL query: check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'World News' at line 1 #1064"
Version information:
MythWeb and MythTV are both from the Ubuntu 9.10 repositories so I assume MythWeb is the same version but I have no proof of that.

Thanks for following up, guys.
What you needed to put there was
In a power search that field is for handwritten content for a WHERE clause off the program and channel tables. This is one case where you WANT to pass quotes to the database.
It has potential for abuse: you (or a black-hat from the tubes) can write a lovely rule to match every program in the EPG which would probably bring the scheduler to its knees or crash your backend.
However before running the where clause it removes semicolons and secondary queries from the text. It seems pretty toothless to me (IANA SQL guru) - it will strip out stuff like this
This ticket looks invalid to me.
