Oh sorry, forgot to mention - it is in 21.4 series, in my case 21.4
(patch 15) non-mule build. And yes it is reproducable with `xemacs
-vanilla'.
BTW: How it behaves in 21.5, does it jumps to the open parenthesis ?
Here is additional information:

Ok, in modes where syntax for `"' is "(string quote) - C-M-u gives
error, but why? Can I simple modify syntax entry for `"' to
.(punctuation) in programming modes without breaking anything?
Consider this picture
nn("aoeui(aoeu)aoeu")

(*) point here |

(**) point here
For me, in modes where `"' is string quote, C-M-u should jump to open
paren(after double n) in both situations (*) and (**). But if `"' is
punctuation, then C-M-u should move point to open paren(after i) in
(*) situation, and move point to open paren(after double nn) in (**)
situation. Am i wrong and missing something?
