Some digging turned out that support old-style backquotes was /not/
dropped but the problem with Emacs24 is considered to be a bug in
Emacs:

24.0.50; src/lread.c: old style backquote bug?
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=6490cgi

Thanks for the patches anyway -- After fixing the old-style backquotes
is no urgent issue could I ask you to send them to the respective
mailing lists for FLIM and APEL?

One problem the could occur is that using new style backquotes might
break compatibility with Emacs19 that used the old style.

Best,
