I had a double take upon reading this. I think the output for all three
of those example commands should read
a b"'}\
rather than
b c"'}\
Thanks for the report. I'm pushing this to fix it (I actually changed
the input of $t to start with 'b c' rather than fixing the output, so
that the use of $a doesn't overlap with the output).
