Yeah, I noticed your comment about that. That seems odd; a look at the
Apple libedit sources suggests it should work. I was just about to trace
through the logic and try to see what's happening.
The reason nobody noticed is possibly that libedit doesn't actually need
the newline-encoding hack. However, we should probably fix the loops if
they aren't working as expected on libedit, just in case somebody tries
to copy the logic for some other purpose.
Meanwhile, attached is a draft patch that uses the history_get loop for
all \s operations, and simplifies saveHistory in consequence.
