What, exactly IS \". The \ is an escape character. It assigns special meaning to the character that follows. So, what special meaning is assigned to \"? The meaning is NOT the same as ". It is that special meaning that you are inserting into the variable c, not a ".

The second assignment does insert a " into c.

I still don't see a bug in the IDE. It is properly defining different meanings to " and \".

it IS a valid escape sequence. It doesn't have sense in that contex, you are right, but compiler doesn't care; It is a escape sequence, it mean ". return.  

btw as you can see from the second bug (and i think you haven't read it to say so) this overflow is breaking some "good" code, so it is a ide's bug.

btw if the IDE's start to complain about the code you write, and not the compiler, I think there is something weird going on

edit: here the "other bug", just to be sure we are talking about the same thing http://code.google.com/p/arduino/issues/detail?id=962
