This appears to be an HTML export bug: A straight double-quote mark before
a footnote fails to convert into ”
Minimal example:
* Heading
Krusty the Klown opined, "Well, that's showbiz for ya."[fn:1]
* Footnotes
[fn:1] /The Simpsons/.
Expected:
<p>
Krusty the Klown opined, “Well, that’s showbiz for
ya.”<sup><a id="fnr.1" name="fnr.1" class="footref"
href="#fn.1">1</a></sup>
</p>
Got:
<p>
Krusty the Klown opined, “Well, that’s showbiz for ya."<sup><a
id="fnr.1" name="fnr.1" class="footref" href="#fn.1">1</a></sup>
</p>
I guess I can filter for it as a workaround.

FWIW, I tried it and I get a different behavior: neither the opening quote
nor the closing quote is touched. I get:
,----
| <p>
| Krusty the Klown opined, "Well, that's showbiz for ya."<sup><a id="fnr.1" name="fnr.1" class="footref" href="#fn.1">1</a></sup>
| </p>
`----

Smart quotes mechanism is based on regexps. There are unavoidable
ambiguous cases, like this one. We can pile up new rules to handle most
of them, but in the end, I don't think we cannot handle them all. Worse,
some advanced rules may create false positives.
Anyway, here are some options :
1. Do nothing.
2. Change the closing regexp to
"\\(?:\\w\\|\\s.\\|\\s_\\)\\([\"']\\)", i.e. ignore characters
after the quote. But then we have to find a way to know a closing
single quote from an apostrophe.
3. Do not rely on regexps but on some simple depth rules:
1. At a given level in the parse tree, the first quote is always an
opening quote ;
2. Every subsequent quote in the level alternates between closing
and opening state.
Second option probably has its shortcomings too, but it may be sturdier.
It also doesn't solve the problem of apostrophes.

But the export is as expected in LaTeX, so... If the LaTeX backend can
interpret the input properly, why not the html backend?

It isn't. Look at the LaTeX code produced.

Ah, I see. LaTeX displays the closing curly quote I wanted if I have this
in the preamble.
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[no-math]{fontspec}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \setmainfont[Ligatures={Common,TeX}]{CharisSIL}
If I leave that out, then the appearance in the PDF matches the straight
closing quote that ox-latex generates.
OK, I'll work around it on my side.

Continuing... I've tried to write a filter for this, but I'm stuck on
choosing strings based on the backend name.
(cdr (assoc
(org-export-backend-name backend)
'((latex . "\"\\footnote") (html . "\"<sup><a"))))
Apparently org-export-backend-name returns neither a symbol nor a string.
What does it return? Or, what is the right way to look up a value based on
the backend name?
hjh
(defun hjh-quote-before-footnote (contents backend info)
"Convert '\"[fn' to the appropriate closing quote per backend."
(when (and (and
(org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'latex 'html)
(plist-get info :with-smart-quotes))
(let ((teststring
(cdr (assoc
(org-export-backend-name backend)
'((latex . "\"\\footnote") (html . "\"<sup><a"))))))
(string-match teststring contents)))
(let ((replacements '((latex . "''[fn") (html . "”[fn")))
(replacement (assoc (org-export-backend-name backend) replacements)))
(replace-match (cdr replacement) nil nil contents))))

That's because BACKEND is already a symbol, not a real back-end (i.e.
a defstruct). Thus, you can use:
(cdr (assq backend ...) ...)

And, I have a working filter now.
(defun hjh-quote-before-footnote (contents backend info)
"Convert '\"[fn' to the appropriate closing quote per backend."
(when (and (and
(org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'latex 'html)
(plist-get info :with-smart-quotes))
(let ((teststring
(cdr (assq backend
'((latex . "\"\\\\footnote") (html . "\"<sup><a"))))))
(string-match teststring contents)))
(let* ((replacements '((latex . "''\\\\footnote") (html .
"”<sup><a")))
(replacement (assoc backend replacements)))
(replace-match (cdr replacement) nil nil contents))))
Filters are... really cool. Thanks for the help!
Next up: Try to control image sizes when using beamerarticle...
