What
The unescape routine for template-literal-style strings handles an escaped backtick instead of dropping it through the generic character branch.
Details
- Rewritten as a single pass with an explicit escaped-backtick case.
- The line-continuation strip is folded into the same regex.
Evidence
\uFFFD
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
