Yes, it's a problem.

For better looks we can use curved single quotes, e.g., instead of the current:

  Indent each line via `indent-according-to-mode'.

we can use:

  Indent each line via ‘indent-according-to-mode’.

Curved single quotes nest better than apostrophe pairs, look better than grave accent + apostrophe, and avoid the "misuse" of grave accent for quoting. A revised patch is attached.
