Yes, it's most likely a problem with my very messy and
in-need-of-reimplementing backquote implementation.

However, I'd suggest using an approach like the one I've adopted in
x86-pc/dp8390.lisp for such register accessors. However, this needs
some fixing because it assumes 8-bit registers exclusively right
now. I'll look into it shortly.
