I think rc is identifying double quotes incorrectly.
To test this, type

; ''xx'

or

; ''xx''
'

That sort of thing.  What do you all think?

 I don't see anything wrong with either example you gave; rc behaves
just as it's documented to in both cases (the manual page is somewhat
unclear on this, but not the bit about the minimal sequence to get a
single quote and how to represent the empty string).

You won't believe this, but it works now. :-)  Last night (I have
witnesses!) the first case somehow came out wrong---it must have been a
multiline typo.  Sorry for the false alarm.
