pphp json_encode() will generate it.
And jsonlint.com will validate it.
Not that those are necessarily authoritative, but something to consider.
(P.S. I tried to paste some php+javascript code, but cannot. Is there a jsfiddle-like site for php?)

At some point your code is letting something change "\t" to a tab character. Please ask for help on a forum. This isn't a jQuery bug.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
The strings in JSON can't have control characters, as laid out pretty clearly in the diagrams at http://json.org. A tab is a control character. A "\t" in a JavaScript literal string is converted to a tab. If some tool had created that JSON it did not encode it correctly.
