I applied a fix for this. For the record, old behaviour was:
/ was only allowed if preceded by an odd number of \ characters. All characters were preserved.
\ at the end of a line escaped the end of line (i.e. acts as continuation character) so long as it wasn't preceded by an odd number of \ characters.
New behaviour is:
\ escapes end of line and / in which case the \ is removed. In all other cases, \ is preserved.
