Did you test that theory?  Give it a try and you'll discover that \#
followed by 3 digits in a filename always encodes the backslash, so there
is never an ambiguity in replacing \#NNN sequences in the output of
filenames. Only full 5-char sequences are affected that way, so the
decoding rule is as simple as:

  s/\\#(\d\d\d)/ chr(oct($1)) /eg;
