looks like our behaviour is similiar to what oracle does:
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
SQL> select initcap('John''s Parents') from DUAL;
INITCAP('JOHN'
--------------
John'S Parents
SQL> select initcap('Flann O''Brian') from DUAL;
INITCAP('FLAN
-------------
Flann O'Brian
