Actually, it was a bug in 8y.etx. It does say
\ifdirect
\setslot{145}
\setslot{quoteleft}
\comment{The English opening single quote mark `\,\textquoteleft\,'.}
\endsetslot
\setslot{quoteright}
\comment{The English closing single quote mark `\,\textquoteright\,'.}
\endsetslot
\Fi
\setslot{147}
\setslot{quotedblleft}
\comment{The English opening double quote mark `\,\textquotedblleft\,'.}
\endsetslot
but of course the \setslot{145} and \setslot{147} should be \nextslot{145}
and \nextslot{147}. Still, fontinst can be modified (trivial change in
\make_ligtable) to better confine such typos, so that they don't cause
havok troughout.
