Those are curley quotes incorrectly rendered because the codepage declaration is incorrect. In the conversion screen, try setting (force) the codepage to: CP1252 (other suggestions are in the Balloon help) |

Just use the Modify ePub plugin, and choose the "Encode HTML in UTF8" option, this is exactly the situation it is intended for.
