This is because in Text mode apostrophe has word syntax, counter to
one's intuition that it is a punctuation character. Only
capitalize-word is affected because it changes the first character of
the following word, whereas upcase-word and downcase-word change all the
characters.
Here's a fix for your .emacs:
(modify-syntax-entry ?' "." text-mode-syntax-table)
