Description
When writing a key with escaped special characters (e.g. 'fromCharCode\\(e\\)') it saves the key with one slash, so when script tries to find value with the two slashes it can't, and inserts undefined.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the escaped-key case described in the issue, using a key such as fromCharCode\\(e\\) and a value lookup containing the two slashes. Trace the handling of values from input through lookup; done means the saved key and lookup key remain consistent and the lookup no longer inserts undefined.
