John, it was my assumption that snapd adding backslashes to the filename was the bug itself (the cause), not bzr's mishandling of the backslash. So that lead to my assumption that the bzr/etckeeper bug was a workaround for a bug in snapd and therefore not a duplicate.
If this is truly a feature of snapd as Zygmunt points out above then I guess it is a duplicate.
