I've encountered them, and I believe the common solution is just to alternatate the quote style, as in:

“Would you believe it?”, he said, “she said I'm ‘a little pathetic “snob”’.”

Huh. I must then be the only one who resolves all entities into UTF-8 characters, wherever possible.

No, you are not.

I have scripts that automate creation or decompression of ePub's, and replacements back and forth between named entities and utf8 take place there. I run checks in my creation script, as well.

Everything is utf8 in the final ePub.
