It seems to me that this problem is related to #switch (or to MW in general) 
rather than to SMW, so maybe the MW developers on the wikitech-l can help. 
SMW does replace ' by ' in values of Type:Page, since a link 
[[''Test'']] fails in MediaWiki (even though you can create an article of 
that name!). Maybe something like that escape could help you as well.
