I encountered a similar bug while I was trying to declare a string
defining a charset (all alphanumerals, punctuation and math symbols).
For some reason the parser choked on the double-quote and backslash,
even though I had a backslash before each of those. I did not explore
the depths of this bug because I used another approach.
