So, probably no change in Texinfo sources. It should be possible to patch the to-Info and to-HTML drivers in makeinfo to generate proper quotes in Latin-1. Ask Karl Berry if a patch would be accepted. In docstrings, changing this would require teaching various parts of the help system to recognize quotes rather than grave accent. But maybe help display functions (eg, C-h f) could do the translation using display tables.
