Thanks for checking.

Yes, and the intent of the current master is to do both: i.e., if you 
have (setq text-quoting-style 'grave) in your .emacs, then both (1) 
unescaped curved quotes are transliterated to ASCII characters in help 
buffers and strings, and (2) all curved quotes are displayed as shadowed 
ASCII characters.  The shadowing is intended to assist you when you see 
curved quotes in other contexts, so that you can distinguish curved 
quotes from true ASCII characters.  You should be able to see this by typing

a ` b C-x 8 [ c C-x 8 ] d ' e

which should insert “a`b‘c’d'e” into your buffer, and the curved quotes 
should be distinguishable from the grave accent and apostrophe because 
they're shadowed.

I assume this works for you now, with (setq text-quoting-style 'grave) 
in your .emacs; if not, please let me know.
