I would consider this a likely low priority bug and this report is more of an FYI:

I found a precompiler bug when handling quotes.

Examples:

!echo "Error'
!define Test 'Error"
!error `Error'

Basically if the string is not properly terminated within the initial quote, then makensis.exe throws an error:
The exception unknown software exception (0x0000005) occurred in the application at location 0x00417893.

I'm compiling on a Windows XP x64 system with NSIS v2.46 ANSI
