Patch attached.

Apostrophe in org-agenda-check-type error changed to Emacs Lisp–style backquote, to make typographic quotes have the right opening bracket character.

I ran `make test` successfully: 1407 expected results, 0 unexpected; 16 skips, 8 expected failures.

I also ran`make compile` successfully.

When `org-agenda-check-type` signals an error, the message is displayed as:

Not allowed in ’todo’-type agenda buffer or component
...
Perhaps using the usual Emacs Lisp quotation form, with a backquote before `%s` and an apostrophe after it,

(error "Not allowed in `%s'-type agenda buffer or component" org-agenda-type)

would produce the correctly curved quotation marks when `text-quoting-style` is set to `curve`?

Yes, it should work.
Would you be interested to create a small patch that will change the
error message?
