Simply replacing echo by printf also works and _should_ be portable. At least posix does not say anything about 'implementation defined'.

I wasnt sure whats a portable fix. Interestingly, any backslash in an argument to echo is undefined behavior, according to posix, so I suppose echo ought to be avoided in this case.
I'm not 100% sure about the portability of single-quoted heredoc syntax, so that might need to be checked.
BTW, need to strip off a pile of those backslashes. Alternative patch attached.
