(any) attribute selector does not match if value contains '\\'

Description
If an attribute selector value contains '\\', it will never match. For instance, given the following input DOM:
#!xml
<message xmlns='jabber:client'
type='groupchat'
from='some\\20room@conference.example.com/juliet'
to='romeo@montegue.net/garden'>
<body></body>
</message>
The following selector fails with 1.6.3 (but works with 1.4.4):
#!java
$(dom.ownerDocument).find("message[from^='some\\20room@conference.example.com']")
- jQuery-1.6.3: returns []
- jQuery-1.4.4: returns [dom]
Also tried "=", "*=", "~=", "$=", and "|=" with the same results ("!=" with jQuery-1.6.3 returning [dom] and 1.4.4 returning []).

Thanks for submitting a ticket to the jQuery bug tracker. Could you kindly also submit a complete test case on jsFiddle.net that reproduces all of the behaviour you've described? If you can ensure that it covers any of the cases you've mentioned this will make it easier for us to evaluate and confirm the issue across multiple browsers before we discuss how to correct it.

It appears that the various preFilter functions unconditionally remove '\\' from all parts of the expression, regardless of what follows or in what part of the expression it is.
