This happens because of the order of evaluation. First the individual templates are evaluated. In your case the first template will end with a \ because the space is stripped. The results are then concatenated. It seems that the title in your example begins with an R. If we assume the title is Ringworld then the result is
The sequence \R is a carriage return, which gets converted by the output function to a space, resulting in
Other characters would behave differently, perhaps disappearing or perhaps generating some other output.
FWIW: backslashes in Single Function Mode can have strange behavior. Sometimes they are really escapes and sometimes they aren't. You should avoid them or use one of the other modes instead.
