I'm assuming that you're writing of test #155, "Syntax and Parsing",
<http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/CSS3/Selectors/current/html/tests/css3-mod
sel-155.html>. (A URI would have made your intent clear.)
The test does not claim that {.\5cm} is an invalid selector. The test claims
that {.\5cm} must not match the class 5cm .

You have overlooked escape sequences. The three-character sequence {\5c}
represents a single character: U+005C, reverse solidus (also known as
backslash). So the selector {.\5cm} matches the class \m .
