Well, severe frustration set in, and I tried increasing numbers of
backslashes until it worked. The magic number is 6:
if $h_subject matches "\\\\\\$\\\\\\$\\\\\\$"
then
log "match"

Testing Exim filter file xf
Filter: start of processing

Subject = (fwd) Problem sending this message out

Filter: end of processing
