fwiw, this was introduced at the time that I fixed this bug:
20220805 (w)
+ revise change for lins_chars() to handle UTF-8 in scripts, as that
interfered with normal insertions (report by Chris Green).
and the "odd backslash" was from an earlier change to the same code:
+ modify lins_chars() to handle a case where a script inserts a UTF-8
character (report by Thomas Dupond).
I think I'll have time later this week to re-revisit this (and make both
scripts and interactive editing work at the same time).
