This happens because quotes are implemented in LaTeX as ligatures,
which means that '' is really a single quote character, so (as
explained earlier) '" is output as ''', which is understood by LaTeX
as "'. The real LaTeX fix is to insert the macro \textcompwordmark (!)
between the characters. LyX tries to do this in some cases (like `?
which gives the spanish ¿), but does not catch all of them. I do not
know whether the problem is worth fixing now, but I'll add it on the
bug list.
