I'm pretty sure that's expected behavior.  Though I tried "\\" and it
also didn't work.  Nor does it work with letters.  Nor on mutt 1.5.6.

Another question would be why that's important...  For most purposes
the real name portion of an e-mail address is ignored.  Just
curious...  The only reason I could come up with on my own is
filtering, but even then it's not hard to write a regex that matches
both "blah\1" and blah1.
