Bug reports for packages should in general go to the appropriate
maintainers: TeX Live takes the material 'as is' from CTAN.

Could you report this with a full MWE at
https://github.com/plk/biblatex/issues. In particular, I think there
must be some additional package loading going on. (Using \string here is
probably sensible, but still best to cover this.)
