Hi

So g.message manual is not correct:

Messges containing '!' and '$' must use single 'quotes' to avoid 
unwanted shell translation.

It should be:

On the shell command line, messages containing '!' and '$' must use 
single quotes to avoid unwanted shell translation of events and 
variables. In shell scripts, both double and single quotes are safe.

Right?
