It is exported as IF_WPA_SSID in the environment passed to /etc/network/if-*.d/*. /etc/network/if-*.d/wpasupplicant sources a file that sources /etc/wpa_supplicant/functions.sh, which runs quoted strings through echo/sed, then passes the value of IF_WPA_SSID as an argument to wpa_cli_do, which is a shell function that calls wpa_cli. I have no idea whether the \ escapes hold up to all that, but as long as you have them adequately escaped, they do not need a different format for quoting.
