To reproduce:

emacs -Q
M-x electric-quote-mode RET
M-x set-variable RET electric-quote-replace-double RET t RET

Type:

"foo \"foo\""

You get this in the buffer:

"foo \”foo\”"

I expected "foo \“foo\”" instead.

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.
