Seems, problem here:

https://github.com/yiisoft/strings/blob/b35142c92c8108a872b0ed5d83d2c62426a056dd/src/StringHelper.php#L538

It's allow escape separate symbols. For example:

array: ['x']['a.b']['c']
path: x.a\.b.c

For boost may prepare key via explode('.', self::ARR_PATH).

[samdark]

Need to try this:

<?php

$key = 'x.a\.b.c';

$parts = splitIt($key);
var_dump($parts);

function splitIt(string $key, string $delimiter = '.', $escape = '\\')
{
    $prev = 0;
    $parts = [];
        
    for ($i = 0, $len = strlen($key); $i < $len; $i++) {
        if ($key[$i] === $delimiter && ($i === 0 || $key[$i-1] !== $escape)) {
            $parts[] = str_replace($escape, '', substr($key, $prev, $i - $prev));
            $prev = $i + 1;
        }
    }
    $parts[] = substr($key, $prev, $i - $prev);
    return $parts;
}

Also

$array = preg_split('~\\\\.(*SKIP)(*FAIL)|\|~s', $string);
