very weird.
now that i looked at it, i can confirm that it doesn't work here either!
my first thought was that i probably used a patched pd-version, but 
looking a bit closer it revealed that the quoting was really just wrong.
it should read:
sys_vgui("pd [concat entry%p output [string map {\",\" \"\\\\,\" \";\"
  \"\\\\;\"} [.x%x.c.s%x get 0.0 end]] \\;]\n", x, x->x_glist, x);
(so the escaped quote at after "end]]" should really be before "}")
i have no idea how this happened.
attached is a unified diff for my changes (or should i simply commit them?)

ps: i moved this to pd-dev (even though it might be a bit late)
