Sorry, that should have been

\ctxlua{"\detokenize{...}"}

which takes care of things at the tex end. When at the lua end, you need 
to use \\ (or indeed [[with regular \'s]].

Anyhow, it does not hurt to always to take good look at \'s because 
commands might end up in cycles (or for instance can end up in auxiliary 
files). This is why many commands are defined using \unexpanded.  Even 
if you pass something using context at the lua end. You can see what 
gets passed to tex using:

\enabletrackers[context.trace]

What you see there should look like regular context.

(btw, context.setvalue{"Lang","English") also works well and has no 
backslashes)
