  | I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. Are you arguing that
  | *printing* these backslash escapes is valid behavior here, and the
  | reporter has merely misunderstood the shell rules?

Neither I suspect, Dale just didn't notice which backslashes Ralph
meant were the problem - the one in the expansion of $BLA was never
it, it is the others that appeared - which is an obvious bug
(probably something trivial) which I would expect will be quickly fixed.
