Description:
------------
Pre PHP 7.3, a stray backslash would be passed through in the replacement string, if it wasn't part of a backreference.  Now, it gets passed through followed by a null character.

Test script:
---------------
var_export( mb_ereg_replace( '[\\\\/]', '\\', '/a/short/path' ) );

Expected result:
----------------
'\a\\short\\path'

Actual result:
--------------
'\\' . "\0" . 'a\\' . "\0" . 'short\\' . "\0" . 'path'
