Great.  So clisp handles the case right (IMO).  It
doesn't seem to have this bug, at least.

I can't speak to the code change that should be
made.  (But I think I understand you, and yes,
I think something like that is what's needed.)

I do wish the code behaved solidly, with no such
"capture" of occurrences of "\,".  But I've
already agreed with you that I doubt anyone will
fix this, and maybe it's too risky to bother
doing that.

I don't see the risk so much (if at all) in that
some code might exist that depends on the bugged
behavior.  I seriously doubt that.  But (1) I
don't know that, and nested etc. backquote
expressions can get very complicated.

I do expect some risk in someone trying to fix
this and ending up causing more problems.
That's the code breakage I'd worry about.
That's a reason I won't be pretending to have
the right code fix.

Assuming the bug isn't going to be fixed, I'd
propose we just describe the problem in a
comment.  That can be done with words or with
code examples.  This thread is already full of
both. ;-)
