Which language are you writing in?

I think it's the expected behavior. The CSL processor treats the first straight quotation mark as the outer quote. In your provided example, the ' is treated as outer quote and the opposite " is treated as inner quote. Thus the dummyWord is recognized as a quoted word in outer style. This design is because of the complicated styles of quotation marks among different languages (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark#Summary_table). Additionally, CSL processor uses US English as the default locale. It loads the quote terms from locales-en-US.xml and outputs the curly double quotes.

https://github.com/citation-style-language/locales/blob/195bef843f87fc917be45ab3eca60536e4ef4626/locales-en-US.xml#L175-L178

    <term name="open-quote">“</term>
    <term name="close-quote">”</term>
    <term name="open-inner-quote">‘</term>
    <term name="close-inner-quote">’</term>

If single quotation marks are expected as outer ones, you can specify UK English as the CSL processor's locale by \cslsetup{locale = en-GB} or \usepackage[british]{babel}.
