Not according to the manuals, but I have not checked the source code.
The manual says you can use the string building characters for a search 
in search commands (obviously), and, to quote the manual:

String build characters are  also  permitted  inside  the  string
      arguments of the O, EB, ER, EW, and EG commands.

Missing from that list is:
EI, EN, ^A, I, FR, ^U

Admittedly, some of these (like I) have other ways of doing the 
equivalent, but other times you just have to work around it.
But it might be that they are allowed in these commands as well, and the 
manual is just wrong. I don't know...
