Hi!
I noticed today :w %.`date -I`.backup does not work anymore -- further
investigation showed backtick command expansion does not work when the
substitution is not surrounded by whitespace -- the following table
gives a summary:
Command Opened file
---------------------------------------
:e `echo foo` -> foo
:e bar`echo foo` -> bar
:e `echo foo`bar -> bar
:e baz`echo foo`bar -> bazbar
Cheers,
Jan.

This is not a bug, but the documented behaviour of backtick expansion.
Quoting from ':help backtick-expansion':

The last sentence describe the behaviour you're reporting.
I'm closing the bug report with this mail.
