Of course, it changes the behavior of your skeleton.
I assumed that your *real* skeleton does something else anyway, so
I showed what kind of change might help.
To do what your above skeleton does, you simply can't use `str`.
You need something like:
(define-skeleton test-skeleton ""
nil
(shell-quote-argument (file-relative-name (read-file-name "P: "))))
instead.

Sorry, I don't know what you mean by that.

Of course: any use `str` within an actual expression (as opposed to
using it as a skeleton element) will work reliably only if that occurs
after a use of `str` as a skeleton element.
