The behaviour you have observed is documented correct behaviour for
TeX. Please see the font tables in Appendix F of The TeXbook: the
backslash is not included in the normal cmr10 font (which does not
follow the full ASCII encoding), whereas it is included in the cmtt10
typewriter font. The following will probably do more of what you
expect. (Although be warned that there's no `` ligature in cmtt10!)
