Eli, since this is a regression from Emacs 28 (likely fallout from one of my changes to fix some longstanding bugs with quotes in Eshell), would my current patch be ok on the release branch? I can try to minimize the changes a bit further (I slightly refactored 'eshell-parse-backslash' to reduce repetition), but since it has unit tests, I think it should be pretty safe either way.
