As mentioned on the internals list, this should cause a syntax error.
Much like in PHP code this would not work:

<?php $foo = "bar\"; ?>

We're talking about ini files here, we always had different rules in
ini files than regular code!

Not sure if this is caused by Jani's improvements in the parsing or by
some re2c work, but it should certainly work as before else many Windows
users will have this issue!

Wait, wait...
Now I know, why did I posted this question...

Now I reverted PHP to version 5.2.6
And there is NO problems with:

   upload_tmp_dir = "E:\"

BUT, when i copy that php.ini file to PHP 5.3 alpha2
THEN

   upload_tmp_dir = "E:\"

causes behavior as explained above.

That is a reason why did I cretaed this "bug" report

In 5.2.6 "\" doesn't escape, but in 5.3 alpha2 it does!
How come?!

Actually...
"\" at the END of ANY directive in php.ini breaks configuration under
WinXP

Ie:
   error_log = "E:\php-5.3.0alpha2\error.log\"
   variables_order = "GPCS\"
