All of which can be quite useless to someone unfamiliar with the
document who's uncertain what words the standard uses in connection with
the relevant rule.

For the record, the relevant grammar rule is in 6.4.5, "String
literals", paragraph 1 on page 70. However, the key part of that rule is
"escape sequence", and you need to go back to 6.4.4.4p1 to learn the
specific grammar rules for escape sequences that actually explain this
behavior.
