"\ c letter" is defined as "take the letter's codepoint mod 32, and interpret that as a codepoint". That means "\c" by itself doesn't make any sense. Shouldn't that be a compile error?
We actually have a special case to back up and treat /\c/ as /\\c/. It was broken until I fixed bug 325925. I say this is WONTFIX or INVALID.
