I don't think backticks are a problem, but only the old-style stuff
deprecated for more than a decade had a bug in the current emacs bzr
HEAD.

  `(foo ,tab-width) ;; new style. ok!
    ==> (foo 2)

  (` (foo (, tab-width))) ;; old style. had a bug, but works for me...
    ==> (foo 2)

I use a very recent Emacs version, so it seems that the bug is already
fixed.

But it's still a very good idea to replace the old-style
backquotes/backticks.

Bye,
