I've looked at this again and I still don't understand the docstring. I've confirmed that the bytecompiler produces not only a warning during compilation, but the compiled code won't work, so despite indications to the contrary the backquotes are indeed necessary. This means that either the docstring fails to clearly indicate the necessity of using the backquotes on string constants or the bytecompiler fails to compile legal code: I'd suggest you take this example to emacs-bugs and see what the devs have to say.
