What kind of surrounding should take place? Should it be

  ``wordityped''

or should it be

  "wordityped"

?

Anyway, without having anlysed the problem thoroughly, I lean towards
making tex-mode.el's `tex-insert-quote' aware of `electric-pair-mode',
possibly downgrading and/or not respecting stuff like
`electric-pair-preserve-balance', instead of overloading the latter with
abstractions to deal with multi-character metamorphosing quotes. Do you
agree? Or do you have any other solution in mind?

Also, independent of `electric-pair-mode', typing a double quote
(`tex-insert-quote') with only whitespace preceding point gives me a
"Beginning of buffer" error. Should I also fix it?

Reproduced. `electric-pair-mode' does affect this.
