Yup. This is bug 21975, aka 10973/14573. UNLOAD/LOAD USING FILENAME IN VARIABLE APPEND \\0 TO VARIABLE If filename for LOAD or UNLOAD is stored in variable, after executing the LOAD or UNLOAD command, the variable has a \\\\0 appended, and using it in a concatenated string causes anything following the filename to be ignored.
