You could advice paredit-backslash to only work in strings.
This function picks up that you are in a regexp.
(defun paredit-in-regexp-p (&optional state)
"True if the parse state is within a double-quote-delimited string.
If no parse state is supplied, compute one from the beginning of the
defun to the point."
;; 3. non-nil if inside a string (the terminator character, really)
(and (paredit-in-string-p state)
(save-excursion
(skip-syntax-backward "^\"")
(backward-char 2)
(not
(looking-at "#")))
t))
Really paredit needs patching...
