I don't know of any `quote` condition, indeed.  Yet that's what you
wrote in your code by placing a spurious ' in front of `error`.

When you write

    'error
    
it is 100% indistinguishable from writing

    (quote error)

so this is the list of conditions your code catches.  If you only want
to catch `error` then you can write

     (condition-case ...
         ...
       (error ...))
or
     (condition-case ...
         ...
       ((error) ...))

Have you looked in the Emacs Lisp documentation included in Emacs,
e.g. in the Emacs Lisp Introduction?

Could you warn this blogger about his mistake so it doesn't spread
yet further?
