[Plugin: Diamond MultiSite Widgets] HTML escaping in widget

Just installed this and love it, but found a bug on the Format string field; I wanted to use a class to get the date to not wrap onto a new line but this:
<b>{title}</b><span class='nobr'> - {last_update}</span>
gets converted to this:
<b>{title}</b><span class=\'nobr\'> - {last_update}</span>
and when it displays in the widget area the resulting HTML is this:
<span class="\\'nobr\\'"> -&nbsp;18th&nbsp;Oct&nbsp;2010</span>

Yes I also tried double-quotes and that totally broke the input field.
