Is this still the case in recent auctex?

I'd say yes.  Fontifying the whole macro looks more consistent to me
than fontifying only the part after the backslash.

Doing so makes the '\' look like a '|'.

I'm using DejaVu Sans Mono with a size of 17 pixels here and the two
characters can be distinguished easily.  Maybe the font you are using is
suboptimal?

Also, in which context or use case would it be a big problem if the
characters where not easily distinguishable?
