I tested with 3.11 as well, and it does not work better in this respect.

I found out that a better workaround is to insert "\hspace{0pt}" after
the "'" character when used as an apostrophe, that is when it has one
letter on the left and either another letter or a TeX command (\) on
the right. It gives (on a sh-compatible command-line):
perl -pi -e "s%([a-zA-Z])'([a-zA-Z\\\\])%\$1'\\\\hspace{0pt}\$2%g" $jadetexfile
But that's still a hack. In some cases, the line gets broken after
the apostrophe character, which violates the typographical rules. I'd
still appreciate a more accurate solution.
