Thank you for the informative bug report.  This looks like yet another
problem with the quoting code (I thought all the kinks were out of
that, but oh well...).  I think it should be sufficient to change line
1968 to:

	regex_chars_to_quote = re.compile("[\\\\\\\"\\$`]")

At least this handles the case described in your message.  Attached is
a patch which makes this change.  Sorry for any inconvenience this has
caused you...
