i had a similar problem once, it turned out to be my finger clipping the
adjacent key when i went to hit one of those big ones on the side, since
my new keyboard had a smaller key than my old. (:

i haven't noticed any random single quotes (or backquotes) appearing
with latest potato here. It sounds like either a hardware problem or
some error in the software that handles the keyboard, but i could easily
be wrong.
