There's a function in PFBC/Base.php named filter() that all attributes for the 
<input> tag will go before being inserted into the page.  This function calls 
htmlentities which may be causing issues with a string that already contains 
special characters like the example you provided.  I'll do some testing and 
come up with a fix for this.  Thanks for reporting.

Try replacing the filter function in PFBC/Base.php with...

protected function filter($str) {
     return str_replace('"', '"', $str);
}

In my initial testing, this has corrected the issue.  Please verify.

For me, it works better with this :
PFBC/Base.php:

    protected function filter($str) {
        return htmlentities($str, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
    }
