Actually this one is good.  It gets the backslashes in the output because the "
need to be escaped there too ('cause it's an array).  But if you output a
single element, they are not there:

alvherre=# insert into f values (E'{"text \\"for you\\" some"}');
INSERT 0 1
alvherre=# select * from f;
             a             
---------------------------
 {"text \"for you\" some"}
(1 fila)

alvherre=# select a[1] from f;
          a          
---------------------
 text "for you" some
(1 fila)
