Comment:

 I don't see an easy way to address this issue. The expected message is
 passed through `re.escape(expected_message)` before it's passed to
 `six.assertRaisesRegex`. It seems we would have to reimplement large parts
 of `six.assertRaisesRegex`  in order to unescape the pattern in the error
 message.
