This is the regexp [\\] (once you remove the quoting related to strings).
In a char-range, \ is not special, so [\\] is just like [aa] (expect for
the char \ instead of the char a), so it's equivalent to [\] which is
equivalent to \\ except it's slower.  Just use

   "\"[^\"]*?\\(\\\\*\\)\"\\|`[^'\n]+'"

but I must say that I do not understand this \\(\\\\*\\) business.
