Typically, a line-break terminates the kind of markup in which text is
bracketed with some kind of paired symbols, so this behavior is
consistent with other PmWiki behavior.  What surprises me is that the
usual workaround for that general rule doesn't work in this case, i.e.
this also doesn't work:

[[A\\
Link]]
