Most likely the problem is that the backslash character is an escape sequence (ie. \n for newline, \t for tab, etc). Try adding a second slash to your comparisons. 

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
   set login_user [HTTP::header remote_user ] 
   if { $login_user contains "\\" } { 
     set ldap_user [getfield $login_user "\\" 2] 
     HTTP::header replace SAPUserID $ldap_user 
   } 
 }

Let me know if this doesn't work.
