Yes for the string literals but not for the replacement string. So you'd end up with \ -> \\ -> \xNN\xNN instead of \ -> \\ -> \\\\, and annoying though the latter is at least you don't have to go to a character table to find out what it means, just realize that there's two levels of quoting going on and so divide by four.
