After fooling around with it on my Linux console, I came up with a 
scenario that had the behavior you describe.  In this scenario I set the 
LC_ALL environment variable to en_US.UTF-8 even though the Linux console 
could display only a few non-ASCII characters (so in some sense this is 
a misconfiguration).  And I put (setq text-quoting-style 'grave) into my 
~/.emacs file, indicating that I wanted traditional ASCII quoting.  
Emacs didn't look at the text-quoting-style setting when configuring the 
display table at startup, which seems wrong, so I patched master to fix 
that.  Please do a git pull and give it a try.  If it still doesn't work 
for you, please send the output of the shell command ‘locale’ just 
before invoking Emacs, and the output of the command ‘echo $TERM’, and a 
copy of the Lisp code that sets text-quoting-style in your ~/.emacs 
file.  Thanks.
