[Toybox] One more bash corner case.

In devuan deadmaus, which claims bash --version 5.2.15(1)-release
(x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) when I do:
echo -e 'echo \n' | env -i PATH=${PATH at Q} PS1='\\$ ' bash --noediting
--noprofile --norc -is
It prints $ three times instead of printing \$ three times. But when I
add -c 'echo $PS1' it says "\\$" which has both slashes. (Which makes
sense because single quotes, above...)
The man page says \\ is a literal backslash, but it's not printing.
What did I miss?
