PyFlakes might also be a good candidate but they try to have as few checks that could cause false positives as possible.
I'd be open to checking this in Pyflakes, since I can't really think of a useful reason to want invalid escapes in literals. Unused imports are in a similar boat: not an error per se, but there's very little reason you'd want one, while there are a lot of reasons you'd not want one.
