It is a bug.

Can be reproduced in this way:

gnuplot> set title 'c:\'
gnuplot> show title

         title is "c:\\'", offset at ((character units) 0, 0, 0)


It seems routine  try_to_get_string()  returns one superfluous ' more. This 
routine calls  const_express()  ... fixing this needs an expert.
