Well, One more time I have lost inside code and couldn't detect where 
the string is escaped :-(
But, I have detected the function that makes the final espace:

WEB_INF/lib/horizon/util/StringUtils::escapeString

As I don't know is this behabiour is configurable, I have recurred to a 
home-made remedy :-)
unescaping the final string returned by the ActionForm setter method.
If it were of interest to somebody, here is the function that makes it.


function unescapeString($string, $charsToUnescape = array('\''), 
$escapeChar = '\\')
{
	foreach ($charsToUnescape as $charToUnescape)
	{
         	$chr_unescaped = str_replace($escapeChar, '', $charToUnescape);
		$string = str_replace($escapeChar . $chr_unescaped, $chr_unescaped, 
$string);
	}
	return $string;
}

Cheers
