Thank you, that explains it --- it appears fixed in Emacs 27 (57e2ca5c50, 
probably), which is why I didn't observe the glitch.
Good news, of course, and regarding your comment about using older versions, I 
can confirm that no \ at bol was removed in my latest clean-up.

However, I think the manual should be amended at this point, and that we 
needn't require new doc strings to escape brackets in the leftmost column.  
Would this patch be acceptable for emacs-27?
