Neither do I, so please bear with me.

No, not according to my understanding. The latter part is fallback
for when nothing is specified as either the script or the character
range, which is not the case we are discussing.

Here's an example of the 1st idea. If it works well, we can exempt
more ranges from Symbola (if you could tell me where to download the
fixed-medium font, I could look at its coverage to decide which other
ranges to exempt):
diff --git a/lisp/international/fontset.el b/lisp/international/fontset.el
index 696940e..cb32daa 100644
--- a/lisp/international/fontset.el

The second idea is to add
(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" '(#x2013 . #x2014)
"-*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1"
nil 'prepend)
(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" '(#x2018 . #x201E)
"-*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1"
nil 'prepend)
(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" '(#x2039 . #x203A)
"-*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1"
nil 'prepend)
(and similarly for other ranges where that font has coverage) to
setup-default-fontset _after_ the Symbola portion.
