\ has to be encoded as \\\\ in utf8 query in WHERE statement, \\ in UPDATE clause

On Windows Server 2003, MySQL 5, utf8_general_ci collation :

To update a field from D:\\MusicBase\\testrename.mp3 to D:\\Megalo\\testrename2.mp3 I've to use this very strange escape syntax :

UPDATE Files SET `file_path` = 'D:\\MusicBase\\testrename.mp3' WHERE `file_path` LIKE 'D:\\\\MusicBase\\\\testrename2.mp3'

Tested from C# code through MySQL.Data, mysql.exe CLI and phpMyAdmin.

Why this strange escapement behavior ?
