Both

Did it ever do this? The Source bundle alters smart-typing pairs for  
double quoted strings (to not have ' auto-paired) so the  
Miscellaneous should probably be:

    source.tex, text.latex, string.quoted.double.(la)tex

That way it will override the general double-quoted string auto-pairs.

Likely this was just left over from copy’n’paste (most languages will  
need to match \. as an escape sequence to allow: "this \"is\" a string")

Okay, sounds like it should be moved then.
