A side-effect that tilts me in favor of removing said behavior:
$ emacs -q --batch --eval '(pp-emacs-lisp-code `(:comments 59))'
Error: scan-error ("Unbalanced parentheses" 1 16)
forward-sexp-default-function(1)
forward-sexp(1)
indent-sexp()
pp-emacs-lisp-code((:comments 59))
eval((pp-emacs-lisp-code `(:comments 59)) t)
command-line-1(("--eval" "(pp-emacs-lisp-code `(:comments
59))"))
command-line()
normal-top-level()
Scan error: "Unbalanced parentheses", 1, 16
