You're right, this sounds like silly behaviour. There should be some 
smarts to realise that certain different characters can mean the same 
thing when acting as an apostrophe. I'd imagine the time to check it 
would be when the Add to dictionary function is called - if the word 
appears to contain a straight quote Or a single right quote, add one 
canonical version (maybe the single-quotes one) but let the spellcheck 
function accept both ' and ’ as matching.

Have you filed a bug report about this at https://bugs.freedesktop.org?

If not, I think you should :-)
