That works but I recommend
\\=\\[
rather than \\\\=[ . See (elisp) Keys in Documentation:
,----
| ‘\=’
|      quotes the following character and is discarded; thus, ‘\=`’ puts
|      ‘`’ into the output, ‘\=\[’ puts ‘\[’ into the output, and ‘\=\=’
|      puts ‘\=’ into the output.
`----
And you don't have to quote \]. It will be displayed literally.

Additionally, we should provide similar quotation in
> +(ert-deftest LaTeX-make-inline-bracket-period ()
> +  "Convert \\[..\\] to $..$ and keep trailing period."
as well.

Bye,
Ikumi Keita
