Steps to reproduce

Note:

• With respect to tilde expansion, Windows is affected too, in the context of the experimental PSNativeWindowsTildeExpansion feature.

Normally, interpreting what would otherwise be an argument parsing-mode metacharacter literally can be deactivated with `; e.g, cmd /c echo `@ and cmd /c echo '@' are equivalent.

The same should apply to the POSIX-shell emulation features:

# Run on Linux or macOS.

# Tilde expansion: `~ should ensure *literal* treatment of ~
/bin/echo `~

# Native globbing: `* should ensure *literal* treatment of *
/bin/echo `*

See also:

• Native globbing: Automatic globbing for native commands doesn't work with backtick-escaped spaces #10683

Expected behavior

~ and * should print literally.

Actual behavior

The `-escaping is ignored, and expansion is still performed.
