Thanks for the pointer, Drew.

I was unable to google up any information regarding this as being a
classic gotcha.  Do you have any references?

If this is in fact "by design", then the manual should definitely say
so in the quoting section.  Do I have to follow a different procedure
to file a documentation bug?
