That's because back-slashes are escape characters to pgsql. You need to escape them (yes: escape the escape chars) in order to get them into the db. This also means that anytime you may wish to search on these, you'll have to properly escape the escapes. And so-on. I believe if you thoroughly peruse the docs, you'll find this noted.
