I know nothing about Pandoc at all, but the preceding URL, which
conveniently lands on the exact subroutine appearing to give
translations of quote type UTF-8's, seems the perfect place to just add 

else if (op == "pandoc")

or some other branch that outputs the needful for pandoc. If there
isn't a variable representing a pandoc-interfacing output, why not make
one and at least have it triggered by a LyX command line argument? Once
there's such a variable, VK himself could put in the exact best quote
representations for Pandoc, I believe 21 in total, put it back in, and
bang, problem solved.

Perhaps it's pandoc's job to fix this problem. But if it's as simple as
I think it is, it's just too easy to do it on the LyX end to wait for
pandoc to do their job.
