In text-mode, double-quotes are not considered as pair-delimiters, so
the behavior is "the expected one".  E.g. point stops after the second
`o', because the sexp it skipped is the symbol `foo' and the " are
considered as irrelevant punctuation.

So, IIUC you're arguing for marking " as having paired-delimiter syntax,
as is the case in most programming modes.
