This is not the proper string syntax for backslashes.  Remember that there
are two levels of quoting, first the regexp quoting and, on top of it, the
string quoting.  Both use the same character for quoting, the backslash.
So in order to get the backslash through the string quoting level you have
to quote it with a backslash.  Or, even better, use the customize
interface to change the variable, which removes the second level of
quoting for you.
