Description:
As of version 5.2-beta, replacing a single backslash with a double
backslash is no longer possible when using BASH_COMPAT=4.2.
The issue appears to have been introduced in commit
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/commit/?h=devel&id=2a1c81bf634d372fde5141d7e616042ca960d9b4
which now returns `1` from `shouldexp_replacement`.
