Works perfectly here with both version. This has to be an issue local 
to your server. Try upgrading the Mail and Net_SMTP pear packages.

We can also see this behaviour with Horde 3.2 rc1 / IMP 4.2 rc1

When sending to a recipient list that contains more than one single 
quote, the single quotes disappear.

For example, these To: headers will trigger this behaviour:

To: wibble''example@example.com

To: foo.o'grady@example.com, bar.o'grady@example.com



Messages are sent by invoking Postfix 2.1.1 as /usr/sbin/sendmail

Horde framework is version 3.1.6



Problems also exist with three or more single quotes:

To: foo'''bar@example.com



becomes:

foo'bar@example.com



by the time the MTA sees it.
