Oops, sorry about that; should be fixed now. Thanks for the report!

A warning about backquote forms without any unquoting would have helped here, but a quick test resulted in hundreds of false positives and little else so it's probably not practical at this point.

A less lazy programmer who would include a test case with the original change would have helped, too.
