Subject: 27.0.50; rx-to-string fails: wrong-type-argument characterp "\\(?"
Date: Wed, 26 Jun 2019 23:35:34 +0300

I started encountering this after building
"260b6c2c931d74ef64dacb20b7fcae6f888e6d42" today.

Eval the following with debugging enabled (taken from magit-todos.el,
just the outer let form added).  Results in the error mentioned in the
subject.

(let ((keywords (list "a" "b"))
      (magit-todos-keyword-suffix "\\(?:([^)]+)\\)?:"))
 (rx-to-string
  `(seq bol
        ;; Filename
        (group-n 8 (1+ (not (any ":")))) ":"
        ;; Line
        (group-n 2 (1+ digit)) ":"
        (or
         ;; Org item
         (seq (group-n 1 (1+ "*"))
              (1+ blank)
              (group-n 4 (or ,@keywords))
              (1+ blank)
