CONNECT engine table_type=JDBC UPDATE statement with double quote produces backslash

UPDATING a connect row with a string like this:
My fence is 24" high

results in the following when queried:
My fence is 24\" high

However INSERT of the same value results in the CORRECT behavior.
Note this behavior is consistent between Microsoft SQL driver and Postgres driver.
Further, in a string, I do not thing a double quote needs to be escaped at all in the SQL standard.
