This bug was reported back in 1998/07/19 by Alexander Favorov msg00504.html . 
It is well described by him. The bug still exists as of gcc 3.3.3 . 
Its a simple parsing error. 
My understanding of C is: 
'\10' is ten (decimal) 
'\010' is eight (octal) 
'\0x10' is sixteen (hexadecimal) 
For a number to be octal, it must be preceeded by a zero, otherwise it is decimal. 
Book Reference: C: The Complete Reference 3rd Edition 
Author: Schildt, Herbert 
Page 37.

Not in charactors. '/xx' is octal aways.

Yes, your right.
To be fair to the author Herbert Schildt, he mentions this in table 2.2 on 
page 38 of his book.
This is not a bug.
Sorry.
