It must be linked to the "standard_conforming_strings" parameter: it
changed with PostgreSQL 9.1.

In SQL, quotes are escaped with a second quote. Historically, MySQL and
PostgreSQL both use a "C" syntax for strings. For PostgreSQL, the
behaviour can be changed with the standard_conforming_strings parameter.
The default value is true since 9.1.

Try doing your import with standard_conforming_strings set to off/false.
