Hints file can't match on prefix with back slash, forward slash works

In the hints file I want to look for one of two domains to pick which ldap server to auth to. Users are used to the DOMAIN\user syntax, so I put in hint prefix checks for DOMAIN1\ and DOMAIN2\. What I found was that trying to match on the back slash doesn't work, despite trying several checks with escaping. A prefix check using a forward slash or a postfix check using @ (user@realm) works fine. Here is the configuration of hints and users along with the output (1.0.2 radiusd -X) of a login with TESTLAB\tester, which fails to set Auth-Type, followed by a user TESTLAB/test which matches and sets the Auth-Type successfully. hints file...
