@AnselmD: Since Sigil uses the same dictionaries as LibreOffice, I just tested the text from your test epub with curly and straight apostrophes with LibreOffice and in both versions the contracted words were flagged as typos.
I.e., the German dictionary designers most likely didn't define the contraction 's for verbs.
You'll have to add these contractions, which are mostly found in colloquial German, to the default user dictionary.
BTW, I got the same results with Calibre Editor.

I wasn't able to reproduce this error with the default de_DE dictionary and LibreOffice. Keinen was only flagged with non-German spelling dictionaries.
