What you're seeing here is the pretty-printer in the toploop which passes
string values through String.escaped:

	# let a = "\"";;
	val a : string = "\""
	# String.length a;;
	- : int = 1
	# Printf.printf "%s\n" a;;
	"
	- : unit = ()

I had the same problem with findlib compiling under the MinGW port and had
to remove Filename.quote in the same way...
