Those both look correct to me (but not the same). What do you see?

The second one looks wrong here (no escapes shown), but I suspect those
inner quotes aren't really the same as the outer quotes, and that's why
they're not escaped.
If you don't want the fancyquotes at all, you can use
options(useFancyQuotes=FALSE). In a package, it would be polite to do
this only locally, i.e. have something like
save <- options(useFancyQuotes=FALSE)
on.exit(options(save))
in functions that call sQuote or dQuote, because options() belong to the
user, not to you.
