For example, starting with an Elisp buffer "|?\(", where "|" is the
point, I would expect (forward-symbol 1) to change the buffer to "?\(|".
Instead, it ends up as "?|\(".

This also affects the result of (bounds-of-thing-at-point 'symbol) for
the above construct. Note that `forward-symbol' works correctly when
there is no backslash, e.g. for "|?a".

(I'm going through old bug reports that have unfortunately not gotten
any responses.)

I'm unable to reproduce this bug in Emacs 27, so I'm guessing this has
been fixed during the intervening years.  I'm closing the bug report;
please reopen if this bug is still present.
