it is more side effect of removing the (declared obsolete some years 
ago) `` '' input which catched it later

i tend to remove

         for k, v in next, ligaturemapping do
             hash[k] = v
         end

in favor of an explicit 'tquo' feature that one can enable if wanted

\definefontfeature[default][default][tlig=yes,tquo=yes,trep=yes]

\startbuffer[test-bib]
@article{one,
    author = {``Author---\v{O}ne''},
}
@article{two,
    author = {``Author---Two''},
}
@article{three,
    author = {Author---Two},
}
@article{three,
    author = {,,Author---Two''},
}
\stopbuffer

so I tested that with the above which seems to work.
