There is indeed a bug, thank you. I'm going to fix it.

I don't think we ever achieved this result. At best, we can obtain:
He said, “You should believe me, ‘cause it’s
‘true’.”
I doubt it is possible to tell that 'cause begins with an apostrophe and
not an opening single quote without grammatical analysis.
