A harmless example from rxvt - pushing back the new-line character:

Does this also affect rxvt-unicode?

Yes (at least on rxvt-unicode 9.21 and 9.22)

Actually, on rxvt 2.7.10 this will try to execute the command '1'
instead so I'd wager they meant urxvt from the start... But both are
similarily affected anyhow.
