I ran across a bug in ls -b (fileutils-4.0).
In particular, if you have a file named something like "x\024", where
\024 is the byte with the octal value 24, ls -b prints out "x\020".
This also occurs for "x\025" .. "x\027".
(I found this bug using the ftwalk test program, fv_stat, which creates
such a file, then compares ls(1) to ftwalk's built-in ls. I haven't
looked at your tests.)
The problem is in lib/quotearg.c, masking the octal digits & 3
instead of & 7. Context diff for fix follows:

{
STORE ('\\');
STORE ('0' + (c >> 6));
! STORE ('0' + ((c >> 3) & 3));
! c = '0' + (c & 3);
goto store_c;
}
break;
--- 258,265 ----
{
STORE ('\\');
STORE ('0' + (c >> 6));
! STORE ('0' + ((c >> 3) & 7));
! c = '0' + (c & 7);
goto store_c;
}
break;
