To me that looks like a pandoc bug: how is a backend supposed to deal
with left/right quotation marks?

quot lt gt amp are kind of system entities so not to be messed with
you could do a replacement: " -> &myquot; and then
\xmltexentity{myquot}{?} or \xmlsetentity{myquot}{?} depending on what
gets done

even then you can have issues: what if you have nested and/or unbalanced
quotes ...
