It's still a bug in build system if you consider that a /bin/sh is a posix
shell. posix shells don't support \hex notation (see single unix system
specification).

I had exactly this problem few weeks ago with pdksh as /bin/sh (and
bugreported to author of that change). As I workaround I used /bin/echo but
using printf is more sane/portable.
