There was a reasonably lengthy discussion about the patches and I eventually installed into master a patchset that was quite a bit different from what I originally proposed, after getting an OK from Emacs's then-maintainer. At the time I didn't think it was that big a deal: it's just quoting in diagnostics, after all. With the benefit of hindsight I now see that I was mistaken about how strongly some users are attached to quoting `like this'. I am sorry you were not involved earlier, as that would likely have saved us a lot of grief. I am also sorry about the whole misunderstanding and will strive to publicize future changes on emacs-devel more prominently, even changes that I may think are not that important.
