thanks for raising this issue.
the implementation as of 1.3 RC1 is actually wrong (and so are the unit
tests) :(
escaping single quotes is necessary for java.text.MessageFormat (which is
used in StringResourceModel).
PropertyVariableInterpolator was handling the escaping of single quotes,
when it clearly shouldn't be, because PVI doesn't know the context it is
used in.
therefore, i moved the escaping from PropertyVariableInterpolator to
StringResourceModel (which actually knows about MessageFormat, since it's
used there) and also updated the unit tests.
can you please try it with the current trunk and report back whether this
resolved your issue?
