No it won't.

MSIE can perform authmatic NTLM authentication which results in
usernames like that, but when using basic authentication the user has to
enter his login.

This is the same as foo\jack in LDAP syntax. \ is a reserved/special
character in LDAP and needs special treatment and is why it shows up as
\5c here. \5c in a search filter matches a literal \ in the LDAP field.
