I'm not able to replicate this:

---
- hosts: localhost
  vars:
    transforms_conf:
      - section: setnull
        options:
          - REGEX: "\\b/exclude1/\\b|\\b/exclude2/\\b"
          - DEST_KEY: queue
          - FORMAT: nullQueue
  tasks:
    - template:
        dest: /var/tmp/output
        src: /var/tmp/input.j2

$ grep REGEX /var/tmp/output                           *[devel]  (09:03:38)
REGEX = \b/exclude1/\b|\b/exclude2/\b

Tried with ansible 1.9.2 and with the current devel branch.

Are you using a different version of ansible?  Or setting the variable
in a different manner?
