Your example works fine in psql:
regression=# create table t1 (f1 bytea);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# insert into t1 values
(E'IsLoggedIn|b:1;CurrentUser|O:17:"Class_SystemUser":4:{s:26:"\\000Class_SystemUser}'::bytea);
INSERT 0 1
regression=# select * from t1;
f1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IsLoggedIn|b:1;CurrentUser|O:17:"Class_SystemUser":4:{s:26:"\000Class_SystemUser}
(1 row)
I suspect what is happening is that some layer on the client side is
doubling (or perhaps undoubling?) the backslashes for you. Exactly
what are you doing with that literal as you build the query? It might
help to turn on log_statements so that you can see just what the
server is getting.
