OK, then what I suggest is you make a standalone test case, outside of 
Rails.

source = <<'EOS'
Put your sample source code here
EOS
# Print it to be sure it hasn't already been escaped by Ruby
# Now process it with Uv
# Show the intermediate state
# Now process it with Redcloth
# Show the final state

Then you can see whether the problem is with Uv, or with Redcloth.

Then the question becomes much more focussed - for example, it might be 
"how do I stop Redcloth turning \\ into \ inside a <notextile> section?"
