R devel - Jul 2019 - parse() drops parse data when encountering `` (bug?)

Hi,

I've noticed that partial parse data from parse() is irretrivable when it
errors due to encountering '``' - two backticks in sequence. The print
output also looks more limited than a regular parser error which leads me
to suspect this is a bug. If this is the case could someone with the
authority please add it to R's bug tracker?

My reprex follows.

Thanks,
Miles

``` r
target_text <- "foo = 1 `` {r} foo = 2"
tstfile = srcfile(tempfile())
parse(text = target_text,
      keep.source = TRUE,
      srcfile = tstfile)
#> Error in parse(text = target_text, keep.source = TRUE, srcfile tstfile):
attempt to use zero-length variable name

getParseData(tstfile)
#> NULL

target_text2 <- "foo = 1 {r} foo = 2"
tstfile = srcfile(tempfile())
parse(text = target_text2,
      keep.source = TRUE,
      srcfile = tstfile)
