Yes: the difference between pressing a key and not pressing a key. It's *pressing the keys* that generates the signal. If you manage to get a ctrl-\ into a script, it's just one more character.
If you mean that script-run commands don't respond to ctrl-\, then most likely the shell that's processing them has chosen to ignore the signal.

I didn't say it was. I said it was up to the application whether to *respond* to it. (Not every application produces stack traces in response to "kill -QUIT", after all.) However, in point of fact, the application *can* disable the keypress completely, by setting the terminal's "local mode" appropriately.
