  At the start of the  canonicalize  routine at the   cf/canon.cf
  there is a sequence:

canonicalize (address) {
        # -- stringwise sift
        ssift "$address" in
        \|.+            echo $address ; return ;;       # pass through
        tfiss
        # -- tokenized sift
        sift "$address" in
.........

  which does the detection of the local address, and avoids
  mis-quotation/focusing.

  It depends at which version you have loaded.
