Currently Emacs d-mode cannot correctly highlight
`\`
because it doesn't understand that single backslashes are
self-contained in back-quoted strings.
I believe this extract from d-mode.el
(defvar d-mode-syntax-table nil
"Syntax table used in d-mode buffers.")
(or d-mode-syntax-table
(setq d-mode-syntax-table
(let ((table (funcall (c-lang-const c-make-mode-syntax-table
d))))
;; Make it recognize D `backquote strings`
(modify-syntax-entry ?` "\"" table)
;; Make it recognize D's nested /+ +/ comments
(modify-syntax-entry ?+ ". 23n" table)
table)))
is highly related to this problem but I don't understand the
comment
;; Make it recognize D `backquote strings`
Ideas on how to fix this anyone?

I took a look and I don't really know if it's possible without
using the Emacs > 24 only suggestion in the Stack Overflow
comment to your question.
As far as I can see, before that Emacs syntax tables have a
notion of what a string is and what an escape character is. The
d-mode code adds the backtick as an alternative to double and
single quotes but can't do anything about the backslash. Unless
it disables backslash as an escape character everywhere.
I tried setting backtick to a function that returns "\"" instead
of the value to see if I could then tailor the function to depend
on whether not the point was in a backtick string but that didn't
work since `modify-syntax-entry` checks to see if the argument is
a string.
BTW, python-mode has the same problem, I checked with r"\".
