In this manner, it is also possible to construct names with \n. So how are you to correctly find bash\n with the current parsing?

This is a slippery slope argument. If there were a large enough user base of people accidentally saving files in ms word format, and it was a one line fix, and it didn't break anything else, then I would agree with you that the kernel should support this.
But you probably have better things to do than argue with the likes of me. Thanks for the joust.
