Nowadays you need to escape literal apostrophes in docstrings
like this:
result = some_function_that_takes_arguments(
\\='a\\=', \\='b\\=', \\='c\\=',
\\='d\\=', \\='e\\=', \\='f\\='
)
Setting `text-quoting-style' to grave will prevent you from getting
bitten by automated curly-quote substitutions in help buffers (but
of course won't help you to remember to escape things when writing
docstrings).

So this works as designed, and is what the byte compilation warning says
("use \="), so I'm closing this bug report.
