Well, it is not a bug because it is documented!

<< When an 'r' or 'R' prefix is used in conjunction with a 'u' or 'U' prefix, 
then the \uXXXX and \UXXXXXXXX escape sequences are processed while all other 
backslashes are left in the string. >>

I agree that Python2 cannot be changed, but this behaviour is a little bit 
surprising :-) Let's move to Python3!
