The attributed string parsing should definitely not be extended, but I wonder if stringByRemovingTeX ought to be a bit more aggressive in removing backslashes? Also, if you (Ingrid) aren't using LaTeX/BibTeX, you don't need to backslash-escape special characters or use font commands; BibDesk doesn't require them.
