The first step is to isolate the problem:
Take a document with your imported Word->stripped html->Sigil code and delete everything except a paragraph with curly quotes. Add a paragraph with straight quotes typed in from the keyboard and add another paragraph with '“'[etc] html entities.

If the curly quotes look different in Sigil, export the epub and view it in ADE or calibre's viewer. If the curly quotes still look different, then you need to upload the test file for more detailed analysis, but my guess is that this is a minor rendering bug that needs to be fixed, but won't affect what actually ends up in the epub.
