The display of the escaping backslash is certainly a bug... I thought there already was a bug report. If not, would you file one? ;-)

I think it got introduced in 0.51, btw.but the escape mechanism was always there, I can see it in Pd Extended 0.42 that it escapes $0, I guess it got "fixed" and expanded to all cases recently.

I once opened an issue because I was hoping I could type an unescaped "$0-x" symbol inside a symbol box, so it could come out as an expanded symbol. One could be able to explicitly type the escape character if wanted. Anyway, just bringing that also to the table.
