I've had this problem using Putty as a terminal and it's always been caused by the character set in terminal emulation being set to, at least in the case of Putty, ISO-8859-1:1998 (Latin-1, West Europe). Switch that to UTF-8 in the Translation dialog in settings and then the quotes after dired in the ls man page display properly. I'd have to have a look on a local console once I'm in work tomorrow for further investigation.
