Have you tested it? With TeXShop? And which regexp engine? And if  
this problem would exist, it's easy to solve: no \ OR no beginning of  
line: (^|[^\]).

The problems I see are:

  1. \\ is very suspicious, because usually the characters between  
[ and ] stand for themselves (except for some exceptions)

  2. the character found by [^\\] is not saved and re-used for the  
substitution
