Yes, I think backslashes need special escapes too.

Let me ask a bigger question.  We have the length of the text string in
the varlena header.  Are we concerned about backend code not handling
NULL in text fields, or frontend code returning strings with embedded
nulls?

I see problems in the text() functions for nulls, but is such a
limitation required for text types?
