Clearly the quoting works because the line doesn't flag an error, however the resulting string includes the slash! What?!?

I'm running 10.3.8.

It's a function of the Script Editor. If you run that in Script Debugger you'll get " as expected. Script Editor gives you a string that's usable in a script (to use a term from Cal's lexicon, it takes the result and stringifys it for use in AppleScript). Script Debugger gives you the text as it is intended to be, unstringified. If you actually use that quote character somewhere, it will work fine done from Script Editor of Script Debugger. You're seeing a difference in the visual presentation of the result.
