I don't know if this is the problem, which I can't reproduce, but I realise
my last patch for removing quotes around names of parameters should only
apply in braces, otherwise the final " in expressions like the one above
gets skipped too early.

Looking at this, I discovered that nested substitutions don't actually need
braces.   For example,

% print $(echo \~)
~
% print $~$(echo \~)
/home/user2/pws

--- a nested substitution with globsubst turned on.  I guess this is
unintentional, and it's confusing, so the patch stops this.  Or does
somebody know better?
