Apostrophe escaping breaks Selenium "see" matching

[precariouspanther]

I've set up automated testing using Selenium and codeception, but unfortunately some of the tests fail due to the "see" action on selenium excepting apostrophes (and likely other characters).

_404Cept.php_

<?php
$I = new WebGuy($scenario);
$I->wantTo('See a friendly 404 error message for wrong url');
$I->amOnPage('/blahblahblah');
$I->see("The page you requested couldn't be found!",'h1');

Suite acceptance started
Trying to see a friendly 404 error message for wrong url (404Cept.php) - Failed

Suite functional started

Time: 7 seconds, Memory: 12.75Mb

There was 1 failure:

Couldn't see a friendly 404 error message for wrong url (404Cept.php)
Guy couldn't see ["The page you requested couldn't be found!","h1"] 'h1' selector For more details look for page snapshot in the log directory
Failed asserting that 'SEERveyThe page you requested couldn't be found!' contains _"The page you requested couldn't be found!"_.

1. I see ["The page you requested couldn't be found!","h1"]
2. I am on page "/blahblahblah"
3. I want to See a friendly 404 error message for wrong url

FAILURES!
Tests: 1, Assertions: 0, Failures: 1.

However, if I remove the apostrophe (and any content after it) the test correctly identifies the content:

_404Cept.php_

<?php
$I = new WebGuy($scenario);
$I->wantTo('See a friendly 404 error message for wrong url');
$I->amOnPage('/blahblahblah');
$I->see("The page you requested couldn",'h1');
