OK, 7.2 is good (although there've been 148 patches since it came out).
I was mostly
interested if you're using a vim with shellescape(). Presumably a
:echo exists("*shellescape")
should show "1" (ie. that it does support shellescape()).
So, what does
:echo shellescape("abc")
show?

What does
:echo shellescape("abc")
show? I suspect you'll see
'abc'
rather than
"abc"
If so, more questions: what do
:echo &shell
and
:echo &shq
show? Does
:set shq='"'
fix the problem?
