For Reproducing your issue
Try mfa align on an English sentence starting with a quote mark and s, e.g. Hello 'smart guy'. The 's will be treated as a clitic and the resulting TextGrid will have a 's label.
I recommend using the regex (\W|^)<QUOTE MARK>(\w[\w <PUNCTUATION>]*)<QUOTE MARK>(\W|$) to detect quotes (replace \<QUOTE MARK> with the list of quote marks and \<PUNCTUATION> with the list of punctuation defined in the global options).
