I think it's not completely clear what to expect here. After all, electric
quote is for human-language text, which normally doesn't contain
backslashes.
At least in the context of Emacs Lisp strings, I'd expect "foo \"foo\""
here, i.e., ASCII quotes. The non-ASCII quotes don't need to be escaped, so
presumably escaping means that the user intended to type an ASCII quote.
