I've looked at that code a few times and wondered about that.  It seems
backwards but maybe someone else has more insight.

I removed it.  I don't know if there is another invalid character that
should go there or not, though.

I've checked in the rest of your patch with some minor formatting fixes
to the ChangeLog and code.

FYI, it is not GNU standard to do:

  if (foo) bar = 1;

It should be

  if (foo)
    bar = 1;

Anyway, thanks for the patch.  It looks really useful.
