I don't think so, forgot about it too ...

Yes, thats quite likely, because at that time I just discovered this
(most useful) 'regexp trick', and maybe I automatically escaped the
backslash at some point without noticing.
I switched to the 'Org version' again now (from literal NUL). Its not
really such a good idea to have literal NULs in source files ...
