This is definitely a bug, in that Terms should have read/print  
consistency. Condensed test cases:

? println(term`foo(["hello\nworld"])`.asText())
foo(["hello
     world"])
? println(term`foo("hello\nworld")`.asText())
foo("hello
world")
? println(term`foo(bar("hello\nworld"))`.asText())
foo(bar("hello
     world"))

The first and third are wrong, the second is acceptable.
