Okay, here are two examples:

(with-temp-buffer
  (insert " ;")
  (backward-char)
  (looking-at "\\(\\(^\\|[^\\\\\n]\\)\\(\\\\\\\\\\)*\\);+ *"))

(with-temp-buffer
  (insert " ;;")
  (backward-char 2)
  (looking-at "\\(\\(^\\|[^\\\\\n]\\)\\(\\\\\\\\\\)*\\);+ *"))

Shouldn't both examples return the same value?  It looks like a bug to
me that the first example returns nil and the second t.
