Documentation backslashes in the manual for `cyclic-*-indirection'

backslashes in the manual for `cyclic-function-indirection' and
`cyclic-variable-indirection'

doc/errors.texi
,----
| @item cyclic-function-indirection
| @code{"Symbol's chain of function indirections\@* contains a loop"}@*
| @xref{Function Indirection}.

| @item cyclic-variable-indirection
| @code{"Symbol's chain of variable indirections\@* contains a loop"}@*

displays in *info*  as:

| `cyclic-function-indirection'
|      `"Symbol's chain of function indirections\
|      contains a loop"'
|      see Function Indirection.
|
| `cyclic-variable-indirection'
|      `"Symbol's chain of variable indirections\
|      contains a loop"'
|      see Variable Aliases.

Are the `\'s indicative of something?
