Can't use apostrophe in StringFormat of a XAML binding?

I'm not sure if it's a bug, but I tested this method, and it works:

<TextBlock Text="{Binding MyValue, StringFormat='The value is \'{0}\''}" />

Seems like single quotes within StringFormat have to be escaped using \ as opposed to the traditional XML style '

Try to use \ before &apos:

<TextBlock Text="{Binding MyValue, StringFormat='The value is \&apos;{0}\&apos;'}"/>
