Here is, finally, the fix for the described problem. Just apply this
patch to the standard MSGedit distribution and everything should be O.K.

The cause of this problem was a wrong ordering of substitutions before
saving the string. The result was that in the case of '\n' the
backslash was doubled. Performing the double-backslash substitution
before the '\n'-substitution fixes everything.
