The glossary keys whose values are written to another file (i.e. sort, name, description
and symbol) need to be sanitized, otherwise fragile commands would
not be able to be used in \newglossaryentry. However, strange results will
occur if you then use those fields in the document. As these fields are not
normally used in the document, but are by default only used in the glossary,
the default is to sanitize them. If however you want to use these values in the
document (either by redefining commands like \glsdisplay or by using commands
like \glsentrydesc) you will have to switch off the sanitization using
the sanitize package option, but you will then have to use \protect to protect
fragile commands when defining new glossary entries. The sanitize option
takes a key-value list as its value, which can be used to switch individual values
on and off. For example:
\usepackage[sanitize={description,name,symbol=false}]{glossaries}
will switch off the sanitization for the symbol key, but switch it on for the description
and name keys. This would mean that you can use fragile commands
in the description and name when defining a new glossary entry, but not for
the symbol.
The default values are defined as:
259 \newcommand*{\@gls@sanitizedesc}{\@onelevel@sanitize\@glo@desc}
260 \newcommand*{\@gls@sanitizename}{\@onelevel@sanitize\@glo@name}
261 \newcommand*{\@gls@sanitizesymbol}{\@onelevel@sanitize\@glo@symbol}
