Well, only kinda.  See what happens with unbalanced backticks:

schaefer<501> cat <<`echo `foo `bar

The only way to get out of this is to interrupt the shell.

However, bash appears to have exactly this same problem, though it's 
harder to tell where the parser is stuck because bash lacks the %_ 
expando.
