Not a bug.

The exception is truthful. The example you provided is not valid Json, because \* is not one of the escape sequences for Json strings as declared by the Json specification. See for yourself in the Json spec, section 9 "strings", page 4: https://www.ecma-international.org/publications-and-standards/standards/ecma-404/
