The XEmacs implementation which I am running appears to differ from

When in LaTeX mode, the first press of " produces a contiguous pair of

Are you not running AucTeX mode? You should be. apt-get install auctex .
But this is a standard feature of Emacs/XEmacs LaTeX mode which most
of us take for granted, because in most applications printer's quotes
are desired, and pressing " at the beginning and end of the quotation
is easier than pressing ` twice and the beginning and ' twice at the
end.
That's why the first press gives you the appropriate typeset quote (`` or
'', respectively). The second press in the same spot changes it to a
typewriter quote ("), again based on AucTeX.
