It was an oversight.  Thanks for pointing it out.  I just fixed it in the
development version, so future versions shouldn't have this problem.

You can fix this on your system by doing the following:

* In a new notebook, Format->Edit Stylesheet

* Paste and interpret the following cell expression at the end of the
stylesheet:

Cell[StyleData["Program"],
 AutoQuoteCharacters->{},
 PasteAutoQuoteCharacters->{}]

* Click Install Stylesheet...

* Choose Default.nb as the stylesheet name and press OK.

* Quit and restart Mathematica.
