One of the backslashes is used for Java's escaping, so the real data does
only have one backslash which is the correct behavior for
standard_conforming_strings.  Also note that E'' syntax is only supported
on 8.1 and later servers, so it can't be used unconditionally.

See the attached test case.

Also note that the String "NULL" should be 'NULL', not plain NULL.
