Your syntax looks legal and I could not get it to fail. My best guess is that you have trailing whitespace characters after the backslash on the first line. The newline character on the first line must be immediately preceded by a backslash for this to work.

Tcl_Backslash(3) Tcl Library Procedures Tcl_Backslash(3)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
Tcl_Backslash - parse a backslash sequence
SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h>
char
Tcl_Backslash(src, countPtr)
ARGUMENTS
char *src (in) Pointer to a string starting with a backslash.
int *countPtr (out) If countPtr is not NULL, *countPtr gets filled in with number of characters in the backslash sequence, includ-
ing the backslash character.
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
The use of Tcl_Backslash is deprecated in favor of Tcl_UtfBackslash.
This is a utility procedure provided for backwards compatibility with non-internationalized Tcl extensions. It parses a backslash sequence
and returns the low byte of the Unicode character corresponding to the sequence. Tcl_Backslash modifies *countPtr to contain the number of
characters in the backslash sequence.
See the Tcl manual entry for information on the valid backslash sequences. All of the sequences described in the Tcl manual entry are sup-
ported by Tcl_Backslash.
SEE ALSO
Tcl(n), Tcl_UtfBackslash(3)
KEYWORDS
