[O] Bug: Exporting smart single quotes in Org 8.3 seems broken [8.3.2 (8.3.2-elpa @ /Users/jonathan/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20150929/)]

[Jonathan Oddie]

Hello Org folks,

(This is a duplicate of a Stackexchange question posted at 
http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/17061/is-exporting-of-smart-single-quotes-broken-in-org-8-3)

I cannot seem get single quotes to export as 'smart' quotes under Org
8.3.2.  Here is a minimal file that reproduces the problem:

    #+OPTIONS: ':t
    #+LANGUAGE: en

    This is 'within single quotes'.  This is "within double quotes".

Expected behavior: from "emacs -Q", under which "M-x org-version"
reports 8.2.10, the output when exporting to UTF-8 plaintext is:

    This is ‘within single quotes’. This is “within double quotes”

and the output when exporting to LaTeX is:

    This is `within single quotes'.  This is ``within double quotes''.

If I load the most recent version of org-mode (starting from "emacs -Q",
typing "M-x package-initialize RET", and "M-x load-library RET org
RET"), "org-version" reports 8.3.2, and the output no longer correctly
translates single quotes.  In UTF-8 text, the result is:

    This is ’within single quotes’. This is “within double quotes”.

In LaTeX, the result is:

    This is 'within single quotes'.  This is ``within double quotes''.

Thanks in advance for any advice,

Jonathan
