I'm not sure that's incorrect. Are you suggesting it should compile to this?

  '\'\\\\\'';
In Chrome's Javascript console, '\\'; and '\'\\\''; evaluate the same except for the extra pair of quotes.

Right. I'm going to use [] as makeshift quotes. The JavaScript ['\'\\\\\''] evaluates to ['\\'], which evaluates to [\]. The JavaScript ['\'\\\''] evaluates to ['\'], which evaluates to an error, 'cause it's an unterminated string.

OK. Now I'm going to use [] to illustrate how the Walls of Shame closed in on me as I read your last comment:

  [     :)     ]
    [   :|   ]
      [ :-o ]
        [:(]
You were right. ^_^
