No it gives an error too.
The problem is that the backslash as line-continuation character has to
be last on the line, trailing white space is not permitted. There are 4
lines with trailing white space, 2 in the header comments, 1 empty one,
and one as part of an X11 resource definition - the last one causes an
error when loading the patterns with -import.

I include a diff below for your convenience (do not use it for patch,
just for identifying the problematic line).
