I'm sorry but I don't understand. What would be fixed in a future version? You
should instead use %27 in the URL (or possibly %60 if it is that backtick
version) as an apostrophe is not a legal letter inside a URL.

Besides, curl itself has no problems with apostrophes (AFAIK), the problem
lies in the shell/command prompt/environment you're using.

That too is an illegal URL letter that should be written as %21.
