I've seen a reliable error occur when a quoted sentence ends with a space before the closing quote.

This (in the source document's HTML):

<p>He said, "Go away — "</p>

becomes (in the MOBI or ePub conversion):

He said, “Go away — “

instead of:

He said, “Go away — ”

If the trailing space is omitted the smart quotes function works correctly.
Where the em dash is are grammatically incorrect spaces. The spaces should not be there. So I'm not blaming the conversion but the source.
