As does 3.82.90 I compiled myself from CVS a few months ago.

Either this is due to a new feature or some bug in the build process

In any case, the original question, as I understood it, was what to do
when backslashes don't work (and they sometimes don't, because in some
contexts they are interpreted as escape characters).
