It's not just echo -n. You are dealing with text that is outside your
control. There are implementations of echo that interpret backslash in =
the
text (like \t, \n etc.). You are risking that they are treated as escap=
e
characters rather than printed as-are.

Actually, I don't know where -n does not work.
