brew service generating invalid systemd service

Seems like the systemd service generated by the brew service contains an unknown escape sequence, for example with victoriametrics package, starting the service outputs that the service is successfully started:

==> Successfully started `victoriametrics` (label:homebrew.victoriametrics)

But checking at systemctl --user status shows that there's invalid escape sequence:

× homebrew.victoriametrics.service - Homebrew generated unit for victoriametrics

Seems like not a formula issue as this also reproducible in grafana formula:

Can you tell what the sequence is when opening the file?

I don't know about the sequence, but here's the generated unit file from homebrew:

homebrew.victoriametrics:

There are unescaped slashes on the execstart
