Escape Problem

I am having trouble on Rudora regarding escapes.

First, \" does not work properly. It returns scripting errors (like I am about to demostrate). However, I can use \\".

To start, the following script:
PHP Code:
function onCreated()
{
  echo(
"Hello, \"friend\"!");

... is returning the following errors:
HTML Code:
Script compiler output for Test (in level rudora_adminhouse1.nw at pos (30.5, 30)):
error: unexpected token: friend at line 4: friend\""!"");"
error: missing semicolon at line 4: friend\""!"");"
error: unexpected token: \ at line 4: friend\""!"");"
error: unexpected token: ) at line 4: friend\""!"");"
error: unexpected token: " at line 4: friend\""!"");"
The script of npc Test has been updated
What's more, is that when I reopen the script, it all of a sudden has changed (see Database NPC "Test" on Rudora):
PHP Code:
function onCreated()
{
  echo(
"Hello, "
friend\\""!"");"

However, if I use the following instead (escaping the escape):
PHP Code:
function onCreated()
{
  echo(
"Hello, \\"friend\\"!"); 
  
/*
    That has a \\" at the end of "friend" but
    vBulletin is being evil to me
  */

... then it works.

I'm not sure about this myself, but I'd call this a fairly large problem.
