> If the escape-result still contains a verbatim newline, why escape this character at all?

Because in verbose mode it is ignored. This is why \n and other ASCII whitespace characters, and '#', which starts a comment, should be escaped.

'\\\n' and '\\n' has identical meaning independent of mode and context, so there is no bug here. Escaping '\n' as '\\\n' is slightly simpler.
