Comment (by jdeep):
After a bit of digging, I am unsure if this is a bug or an expected
behaviour. The content is filtered through `wptexturize` which converts
`'` (ASCII 39) to open and closed apostrophes based on regex. So the
apostrophes do appear correctly when the text is bold. Now, why it is not
being done when the content is not between tags like `<strong>` is another
issue.
