To paraphrase Bart,

That's

        typeset -a test1=(     "foo"
        "bar"
        "baz")


>         typeset -a test1=\

[...]

That's

         typeset -a test1=    ("foo"
         "bar"
         "baz")


The \<newline> sequence is a "line-continuation". It is
*removed*.

Note that you can also do:

typeset -a test1=(
  foo
  bar
  baz
)
