Personally I prefer to have the rest of the document colored as a  
string, when I don't have the proper closing.

As for strings not ending with backslash. You could make something like:

{  name = "string.quoted.double.py";
    begin = "\""; end = "\"|(?<!\\\\)(?:\\\\\\\\)*(\\n)";
    swallow = "\\\\.";
    endCaptures = {
       1 = { name = "invalid.illegal.open-string.py"; };
    };
},

If you set the background of invalid.* to e.g. red, it'll be very  
clear where the string breaks (since styling a \n covers the area to  
the right of the line).
