Don't think so:

(list "asdfsdf adfsadf  " "asdfsd asd asdf " "asdfasf asdfsad ")

When started a "list",  forward-sexp travels string by string, which is 
ok and also means, it recognises a string as sexp already.

Accordingly from inside a string, it should go to the end first.

Because a kill-symbol-at-point seems missing.
No reason to maintain a quirk :)
