Yes, "get"'s %X% substitution is useful except when something like this
happens.  "get -k" will suppress all %X% keyword substitutions.  If you
want to suppress just an individual case, I know of no method other than
to arrange for there to be no keyword pattern.  E.g.
	DATE_TOUCH=`date +%m%d%H'%'M%y`
