Adverb Composition: Is this a bug?

I don’t see this as the proper behavior of an adverb composition, but I suppose I can be persuaded otherwise ;)

q)a:(')[sum] /this application creates the expected derived function

q)a

sum’

q)b:(‘’)[sum] / ‘’ should be an adverb projection, since the operand to ’ is ’ (an adverb) and not a [derived] function but the second ’ is lost when ‘’ is applied?

q)b

sum’

q)a~b
1b

2

b:(‘)(’)[sum]

Looks like a rare sighting of the ghost in the machine (‘’)

q)gb:“["Who ya gonna call?"]”
q)parse"(‘’)",gb
(‘;’)
“Who ya gonna call?”
