I confirm Vincent observation:  HTML Mode behavior with quotes is
inconsistent.

Bug still present with 30.0.50 build from commit b9a910a701a.

I reproduced with emacs -Q and the files test.html and test_ko.html
attached to this message.

Note that removing random space charaters in the style element sometime
fix the problem.
