faulty rendering of string quoting in docstring

[mooseyboots]

for me, helpful doesn't render the docstring of replace-regexp correctly, which led to long-term confusion on my part.

helpful's doctring:

"In TO-STRING, \& stands for whatever matched the whole of REGEXP,
and \=\N (where N is a digit) stands for whatever matched
the Nth \(...\) (1-based) in REGEXP."

describe-functions version of same:

In TO-STRING, ‘\&’ stands for whatever matched the whole of REGEXP,
and ‘\N’ (where N is a digit) stands for whatever matched
the Nth ‘\(...\)’ (1-based) in REGEXP.
‘\?’ lets you edit the replacement text in the minibuffer
at the given position for each replacement.

\=\N is what confused me, it should display as \N.

raw docstring:

In TO-STRING, `\\&' stands for whatever matched the whole of REGEXP,
and `\\=\\N' (where N is a digit) stands for whatever matched
the Nth `\\(...\\)' (1-based) in REGEXP.
`\\?' lets you edit the replacement text in the minibuffer
at the given position for each replacement.

\= (or \\=) quotes the following character and shouldn't be rendered itself

is this an issue for other helpful users too?
