Yes, this is correct, it is supposed to catch bugs.
I have added that to the release notes now.

In case the backslash is not followed by a recognised
escape sequence character (like e.g. \n \t etc), this
is now an error. Previously the backslash was just
ignored, ie. in your example you would have gotten
the string "a=b", which is probably not what you wanted.
