I have never seen that case, but I think that you are right. Still,
that's not the end of it, see by yourself what the following command
generates with only your patch, which is fancy:
ALTER SYSTEM SET unix_socket_directories = '/tmp/sock1','/tmp/, sock2';

We need an extra GUC_LIST_QUOTE on top of what you are proposing.
