Ok, good.

No: listing content has to be read verbatim, saved to a separate file
to allow rereading it and hence resetting catcodes to normal if
necessary (eg escaped content). Read the powerdot article to see why
powerdot also provides a file method.

This is a known issue with listings. I talked about it with the
listings author (and he agreed that it needed work and he was thinking
of a new implementation) but that was about the last contact the latex
world had with him, hence I took over the listings package and gave
maintenance to Brooks Moses (see also the listings docs). This is not
the right place to search for a solution, I think, but if anyone
knows, feel free to inform us all :)
Best,
