Possibly when a user is in [Normal] search mode and enters a backslash or other escape-able character, Calibre could change the search and replace terms internally to be compatible with he internal RE engine?

Not knowing the 'trick' could lead to a lot of head scratching
It already does for search strings, just not for replace strings, because it is pretty rare, basically only \<digit> and a couple of other forms are special.
