backupwallet was broken for multiwallets in their own directories (i.e. something like DATADIR/wallets/mywallet/wallet.dat). In this case, the backup would use DATADIR/wallets/wallet.dat as source file and not take the specific wallet's directory into account.
This led to either an error during the backup (if the wrong source file was not present) or would silently back up the wrong wallet; especially the latter behaviour can be quite bad for users.

Would this require backport to the 0.16 branch?

I think that 0.16 does not yet support multiwallets in their own subdirectories, does it? Then it would not require a backport.
