These options didn't make it into the System` context, so the FE is getting
confused about them. Which is easy to work around:
Cell["", "Text", System`AutoQuoteCharacters -> {},
System`PasteAutoQuoteCharacters -> {}] // CellPrint
But even easier might be the checkboxes in the Preferences dialog under the
Interface tab to "Enable smart quotes" for editing and pasting. This affects
the behavior globally.
