This is documented behaviour. Quoting the manual at
http://au2.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.modifiers.php :


e (PREG_REPLACE_EVAL)

If this modifier is set, preg_replace() does normal substitution of backreferences in the replacement string, evaluates it as PHP code, and uses the result for replacing the search string. Single quotes, double quotes, backslashes (\) and NULL chars will be escaped by backslashes in substituted backreferences.


Note the section about quotes being escaped by backslashes.
