I think it's fine in recent versions of nginx:

Changes with nginx 1.1.6 17 Oct 2011

*) Change: now the 0x7F-0x1F characters are escaped as \xXX in an
   access_log.

Changes with nginx 0.7.0 19 May 2008

*) Change: now the 0x00-0x1F, '"' and '\' characters are escaped as \xXX
   in an access_log.
   Thanks to Maxim Dounin.
