I'm not exactly clear about where the escaping is happening. It is only
certain characters that get escaped, quotes being one of them.

I think this is happening before it even gets as far as SubWCRev.
Whatever parses the command line into argc/argv has already happened
before we get into main(). In my very old Zorland C compiler (when I had
an 8086 PC with 640K RAM), you could link in your own command line
parser instead of the system one, but I have no idea whether that sort
of thing would work here.
