Thanks for the report.  This patch should fix the problem:

---8<---
Subject: parser: Fix incorrect eating of backslash newlines

With the introduction of synstack->syntax, a number of references
to the syntax variable was missed during the conversion.  This
causes backslash newlines to be incorrectly removed in single
quote context.

This patch also combines these calls into a new helper function
pgetc_top.

Fixes: ab1cecb40478 ("parser: Add syntax stack for recursive...")
