But even selecting the whole string fails: the colon and line number suffix is clobbered.
A simple non-solution is to change the dofile argument to the getbytearg call to false, which of course kills the full path expansion of the argument :-(, but at least doesn't kill the suffix.
I'd be happy to see the suffix not killed when the selected text was non-null.

The thinking in the underlying code, which was co-opted for this

rooted and would be annoying to change in general, which will
mean hacking it for your particular purpose.

Instead, I recommend just avoiding expansion in this case and
selecting the whole string you wish to send.
