Because it is in the "label" (\cite key?) field whereas (I assume
without having seen a MWE) the others are elsewhere ("author" field for
example).

Citation Keys
A cite key is a unique identifier for a given reference. BibTeX
scans your document for occurrences of a cite command with a cite
key embedded in it, and translates it into a properly formatted
reference. Several patterns are common in choosing cite keys, from
simple ones such as "lastnameYEAR" to more complicated abbreviations
of journal names and author names. BibDesk will automatically
generate cite keys for you (See section Citation Keys), or you can
enter your own in the editor.
-->
BibDesk takes a fairly strict interpretation of the valid characters
for cite keys, and the characters " "@',\#}{~%" (including the space
character) are never allowed, while you will be warned if you use
one of "&$^" in a cite key.
<--
Cite keys are essentially TeX commands, so you should avoid
using underscores, for instance, if you ever need to print the
actual cite key itself.

1. Then why is it only this one entry and not any of the other 9?
2. Why has this not been an issue before now? Is it biblatex-related and not
seen by bibtex?
3. If you're correct then how does one enter an apostrophy in an author's
name so it's properly written in both citation and bibliography?
You keep pointing out the source of the problem so I assume you have the
solution to it. I'd greatly appreciate learning that solution.
