FWIW in Emacs 22 you can use (re-search-backward "\\_<symbol\\_>").
>From NEWS:

    *** New regular expression operators, `\_<' and `\_>'.

    These match the beginning and end of a symbol.  A symbol is a
    non-empty sequence of either word or symbol constituent characters, as
    specified by the syntax table.
