Patrick,
Thank you for this work-around. I do see what you mentioned in the
documentation for the concat converter, but not for str(). Does not seem
to be a documented behavior in that case.

If I set a variable like this:

This seems like HAProxy is parsing the comma as a delimiter between
arguments to the str() fetch method instead of including it as part
of the string that's surrounded by double quotes. Is this expected
behavior? If so, is there a work-around? Some way to escape commas in
a string passed to str()?

Yes this is known behavior. In the config documentation, on some of
the keywords, you'll see:
> Note that due to the config parser, it is not possible to use a
comma nor a closing parenthesis as delimitors.
You can get around it by using converters, and some sort of encoded
text, such as URL or base64. For example:
str(GET%2CPOST%2CPUT),url_dec()
