Clearly "pandoc -t html5 -o - --smart --ascii --self-contained" should have used “ and ” entities as well.

Looking at src/pandoc.hs, we have:
| htmlFormat && ascii ->
writerFn outputFile =<< selfcontain (toEntities result)
So it tries to do the right thing in that situation. result contains the standalone html string and toEntities substitutes entities for non-ascii characters. The problem is selfcontain once again parses the html string, so the entities get resolved to characters once more, and then this is written out. I flipped it around so that we have:
| htmlFormat && ascii -> do
result' <- selfcontain result
writerFn outputFile =<< return (toEntities result')
which seems to fix the issue. I'll report this upstream and see if we can get it fixed.
