A TeX interpreter has been implemented for the FLTK toolkit and will be part of release 3.8.0. The behavior described in this bug report now works correctly. Closing report.

Whether "\[" and "\]" in a TeX string is displayed as "[" and "]" or as "\[" and "\]", respectively, depends on what else there is in the string. Example:

yields "[] x²" and "[] (a)" whereas

yields "\[\] x2" and "\[\] alpha". So whether square brackets with a backslash in front of them are interpreted as escaped square brackets depends on whether the rest of the string contains specific TeX code or not.

MATLAB expects square brackets to be un-escaped and prints a warning message if it encounters "\[" or "\]" in TeX strings.
