there's no ending '\' in the source text, it's added by the bug:

...
   261.  -->  input (:priolist:) [:*:fileprefix:priolist.mfp]
       [:*:fileprefix:priolist.mfp]
       --:*:fileprefix:priolist.mfp-- len 26
   281. qexpandvar on =:*:fileprefix:priolist.mfp\Ùÿ= len: 26 bitmask: 7
...
   861.  -->  input (:priolist:) [:*:fileprefix:priolist.mfp]
       [:*:fileprefix:priolist.mfp]
       --:*:fileprefix:priolist.mfp-- len 26
   881. qexpandvar on =:*:fileprefix:priolist.mfp\-ÿ= len: 26 bitmask: 7
...
   1461.  -->  input (:priolist:) [:*:fileprefix:priolist.mfp]
       [:*:fileprefix:priolist.mfp]
       --:*:fileprefix:priolist.mfp-- len 26
   1481. qexpandvar on =:*:fileprefix:priolist.mfp\éÿ= len: 26 bitmask: 7
...

there's no fancy string to expand here, plain ascii - expandvar is not 
so b@3ked to cough even on that (hope we didn't miss such a bug for so long,
ending '\' has been an issue ages ago).
