My initial information came from "man sh". Checking more thoroughly, <http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/echo.html> seems to suggest that you're right. Strictly speaking, POSIX shell behaviour seems to be undefined when escape characters are used, so bash isn't quite as annoying as I thought.

Indeed, the the Debian maintainer's fix is better, and should be sync'd for Hardy. I'll milestone this bug for "later" so as to not be lost.
