You need a trick:

Create an Auto-correct rule that turns your chosen character sequence (e.g. "\t") into a regular TAB:

Open Notepad and type one TAB. Select it and copy it.
Go to OneNote and click File | Options | Proofing | AutoCorrect Options
In the dialog, put your desired sequence of characters (e.g. \t into the "Replace:" field.
Paste the TAB that you copied from Notepad into the "With:" filed. Click Add.

Now, any \t followed by a SPACE will be replaced by a regular TAB.
