It looks like you're using an old version of coreutils. The current version outputs ASCII apostrophes there. This was a change committed on 2015-11-04 and released in coreutils 8.25; it makes it easier to cut and paste file names from diagnostics into shells.
Since the reported behavior is already fixed I'm taking the liberty of closing the bug report.
