Sorry nobody got back quicker.  It's likely that gst-launch doesn't handle
newlines correctly.  I'm not particularly surprised, since it's supposed to be a
test tool, not a general-purpose interface to gstreamer internals.  So problems
like this are handled as time permits.  Please feel free to dive into
gst_parse_launch(), in gstreamer/gst/parse/parse.y.

Personally, I think gst-launch lines should handle escape sequences themselves,
so you could use

  gst-launch 'filesrc location="blah\nblah" ! fakesink'

and have the \n correctly substituted.
