It's not a bug, nor is it a feature. The backslash is a common
documentation trick when a line is too long and needs a visual
break; It indicates "type all this in."
It's actually more than a documentation trick. It's a common shell
"escape", and means "treat the next line as part of this line when
evaluating the command".
One possible reason why it failed for the original poster is, any
trailing character, even a trailing space makes this machanism fail.
Trailing spaces are quite common if you copy&paste from HTML documents.
