I'm pretty sure it isn't the case, because the error message from view3dscene:

- Displays the filename, not how it's encoded in C,

- And the source code of Castle Game Engine and view3dscene is using
modern Object Pascal, in which the backslash has no special meaning
inside a string :) In Pascal, you enclose a string in apostrophes, and
the only special character is an apostrophe. (To have a literal
apostrophe inside a string, you just write two apostrophes.)
