With its current handling ujson ends up encoding labels twice, which can cause problems if they contain escapable characters:

In [16]: df = DataFrame([['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd']], index=['index " 1', 'index / 2'], columns=['a \\ b', 'y / z'])

In [17]: df
Out[17]: 
          a \ b y / z
index " 1     a     b
index / 2     c     d

In [18]: json = df.to_json()

In [19]: json
Out[19]: '{"a \\\\\\\\ b":{"index \\\\\\" 1":"a","index \\\\\\/ 2":"c"},"y \\\\\\/ z":{"index \\\\\\" 1":"b","index \\\\\\/ 2":"d"}}'

In [20]: pd.read_json(json)
Out[20]: 
           a \\ b y \/ z
index \" 1      a      b
index \/ 2      c      d

This PR fixes this behaviour so labels are only encoded a single time.
