Hi Mikhail,

I have seen a similar issue in which code *executed* by R returns weird
nasty quotes.  The following works for me to remove these quotes before
the confuse TeX.

;; Replace nasty single-quotes returned by R.
(add-hook 'org-export-latex-final-hook
          (lambda () (replace-regexp "’" "'")))

Hope this helps -- Eric
