MS Excel shows the exact same behavior.

IIRC, the reason is that the apostrophe is sometimes used as
a quotation mark and that the capitalization conventions
vary from language to language:  J'ai L'addition  etc.

We have, the same kind of problem with non-asci characters. 
I've offered a solution in patch #995740 (fix for title case bug: 
#995422).
