I have no opinion at all, I was just asking because it seemed odd.
As mentioned originally, feel free to install whatever you feel is right.

There's no reason to restrict oneself to font-lock*-face faces.
It might be better to use `defface' to create a new face (which could just
inherit from font-lock-warning-face) so users who feel that \ shouldn't be
so "in your face" can change it without changing font-lock-warning-face.
