This is too bad, indeed.

I don't understand exactly what Paul did to change (for Emacs) the
first ' in '...' to SINGLE TURNED COMMA QUOTATION MARK, but if he
could do that, couldn't a similar approach be used to change that
first ' back to `, restoring things for Emacs users as they were
before (removing this regression)?
