Definitely sounds to me like the result of sending UTF8 quotes to a
terminal expecting Latin1. The left single and double quotation marks
in the Unicode punctuation block (U+2018 and U+201C) are e2-80-98 and
e2-80-9c in UTF8; in Latin1, 0xE2 is small a with circumflex, and 8*
and 9* characters are all non-printing.
Problems with groff using Unicode punctuation in what should be
verbatim code blocks were recently discussed on p5p. I can reproduce
the problem in a Latin1 xterm on Debian by setting LC_ALL
(incorrectly) to en_US.utf8, so I agree that setting your locale to
en_US.iso88591 or C would be a good thing to try.
