Note that this is in no way specific to backslashes inside [].

But then the likes of the following will not be font-locked as you'd
expect:
(message "%s" (substitute-command-keys "Type \\[calc] to return to the Calculator")))
IOW, the doc strings are not the only place where we want this. OTOH,
the probability of having a string where such constructs are used with
no relation to substitute-command-keys is quite low.

Yes, please do that.
Thanks.
