The current emacs-25 should show a slightly different help buffer. 
Assuming your (setq text-quoting-style 'grave), the help buffer should 
look like this:


text-quoting-style is a variable defined in `C source code'.
Its value is grave

Documentation:
Style to use for single quotes in help and messages.
Its value should be a symbol.
`curve' means quote with curved single quotes ‘like this’.
`straight' means quote with straight apostrophes 'like this'.
`grave' means quote with grave accent and apostrophe `like this'.
The default value nil acts like `curve' if curved single quotes are
displayable, and like `grave' otherwise.

I didn't quite follow your email, but are you suggesting that the second 
line should look like this instead?


Its value is `grave'


and that would suffice to fix the problem that you see?  If so, this 
should be easy to arrange.
