There is indeed a bug, thank you. I'm going to fix it.

I don't think we ever achieved this result. At best, we can obtain:

  He said, &ldquo;You should believe me, &lsquo;cause it&rsquo;s
  &lsquo;true&rsquo;.&rdquo;

I doubt it is possible to tell that 'cause begins with an apostrophe and
not an opening single quote without grammatical analysis.
