Hi Dan,
I just tried this on OS X (using svn 1.8.0) and I'm able to create a directory in the repository with a backslash in its name and delete it again.
My guess would be that this works on other UNIXes as well. So if you have access to a non-Windows machine, delete or rename the directory from that machine. (Don't forget that you have to escape the backslash with a second backslash for the shell.)
