    Backslash should work for all kind of regexp's (include_filter, exclude_filter, 
database name pattern). 

   At log_filename substitutions is expanded and resulting string is passed to 
the OS call. So, OS will decide what to do with log_filename with quotes around
and\or inside it. I'd say you shouldn't handle inner quotes, at least on WIndows
it is so.
