That might be because the old forum software just placed HTML in some cases, or similar unusual constructs. Quotes got replaced by a combination of two or three tags which carried the visual representation on screen, for example, instead one sensible tag like the forum does now, which is only replaced in the rendering step of the page.
That you convert all the broken links by hand, yeah, crazy, I wouldn't lift a finger unless it can be done in a unified way with all the links simultaneously. Hopefully searching for text with quotation marks helps you a bit.
