I tried this out interactively with dash.
The dash builtins echo and printf require \\n to get newline otherwise a
literal \n is output.
but, echo \\
does do the expected thing and outputs a single \

However using this example from the dash manpage

{ printf " hello " ; printf "world\n" ; } > greeting

and the resulting file does have the &0A after "world"

I'm wondering now if the \ for standard output is getting lost in
termios.
