Comment(by martin.langhoff):

 Changed summary. As Tomeu correctly points out 'import cjson' imports the
 C implementation of the json parser -- different from 'import
 bitfrost.util.cjson' which imports the Canonical json implementation.

 This is a bug in cjson, the C implementation of the json parser.

 the version of cjson is current
 $ rpm -q python-cjson
 python-cjson-1.0.5-3.fc11.i586

 ... in a python session:
 >>> json.loads('"foo\/bar"')
 u'foo/bar'
 >>> cjson.decode('"foo\/bar"')
 'foo\\/bar'
