after discussions with perky, reverted fix for Bug #1379994: Builtin
unicode_escape and raw_unicode_escape codec now encodes backslash correctly. This caused another issue for unicode repr strings being double-escaped (SF Bug #1459029). Correct fix will be in 2.5, but is too risky for 2.4.3. Added a testcase for #1459029.
