I do use inkscape, but I didn't know about that option.
I'll have to keep it in mind.

Yes, there's a bug.  Unfortunately the patch on the tracker 
is not sufficient to fix it.  I initially thought there must
be an easy fix, but it turns out to be quite complicated.
In part this is because individual terminal drivers choose to
send individual text fragments either through the enhanced text 
processing or the normal text output based on what characters
appear in the string.  That means they will now have to pay
more attention to backslashes before making this decision, and
all the various terminals will need to be checked to make sure
they are consistent.

That sounds reasonable.
