Old features never die. From the zshoptions manpage:

   SUN_KEYBOARD_HACK (-L)
       If a line ends with a backquote, and there are an odd number of
       backquotes on the line, ignore the trailing backquote.  This is
       useful on some keyboards where the return key is too small, and
       the backquote key lies annoyingly close to it.
