That really looks like a data error, in my estimation. Why would they italicize the word, but leave the apostrophe inside the word non-italicized? Anyway, I was able to make this work with the following wikitext:
Here's an italic word with a non-italic apostrophe: ''Prud'''''homies''
which suggests that the solution is to always escape apostrophes as numeric character references. But that makes the wikitext pretty ugly, unfortunately. On the other hand, I don't see any other way to robustly differentiate apostrophes-as-markup vs apostrophes-as-content.
What do you think?
Search for "homies" in https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Wikisource:WikiProject_Open_Access/Programmatic_import_from_PubMed_Central/The_Biodiversity_of_the_Mediterranean_Sea_Estimates_Patterns_and_Threats&oldid=5034390 and http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0011842
Not sure we can fix this algorithmically, though - it is encoded in a really strange fashion:
