    I investigated this a little bit.  The relevant code starts at line 4079
in parse.y.  I am not familiar enough with the inner workings of parse.y to
see offhand what this code is trying to do, but it was obviously inserted to
specifically catch this situation.  This may simply be a limitation in the
way quoting is implemented.
