backward-up-list doesn't know you start from inside a string and instead
assumes you start from outside of any string or comment.  So when it
bumps into the opening " it thinks this is a closing " and treats the text
before that as being inside a string.  Try it with:

       (foor "an open ( inside a string"
             blabla
             "try it from >>HERE<< for fun.")

Misfeature.
