[tmac]: Fix nonportable test.
* tmac/tests/an-ext_SY-and-YS-work.sh: Use printf(1), not echo(1), when
an argument contains backslashes. Thanks to Dave Kemper and Deri
James for reporting test failures arising from the non-portability of
backslash usage in echo(1) arguments, which frustratingly did not
create problems on any systems readily available to me.
