I think you are seeing the effects of a change made to
lisp/international/mule-cmds.el on 2003-09-01.

The results just look weird to me, and rather than trying to embrace
change I have found I can recover the old behaviour with the
following in my .emacs:

(aset standard-display-table ?` nil)
(aset standard-display-table ?' nil)

I have no idea if this is the Right Thing to do, but it works for me.
