Description:
------------
HTML_QuickForm::setDefaults with a htmlentities callback function will result in special characters being converted twice!

For example:

$form->setDefaults($result[0], 'htmlentities');

Letters such as special n (n with a tilde), or any other international characters are first converted using the callback function to their ascii names, ñ, and when outputted, again converted to &ñ

If the data is called without using a callback function, the letters are not converted at all, and causes problems in displaying the form.
