I'm not sure I understand. Are you suggesting the syntax is bad?

Okay, that's a fair argument. It would require consistent configuration in
more than one place, unless (I think?) Org's LaTeX export automagically
use/configure Babel.

Right: I'm talking about TeX and not org-mode there. The semantic way to
say "this is quoted" is csquotes and \enquote.
Are those code points U+0022 QUOTATION MARK and U+0027 APOSTROPHE? (I am
not an org-mode expert. I'm assuming org-mode does operate on code points,
not bytes?)

That appears to compile correctly on my machine as well. Perhaps there is a
discrepancy between how I'm building the tex file and how org is building
the intermediary tex file. I will investigate :)
