This is a Parsoid problem, though arguably a bug with the template – it's failing to escape user input and so breaks if the users' input has a terminal quote.

Wikitext input:

{{Clarify|reason = test "quotes"}}

MW parser output:

<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify" title="Wikipedia:Please clarify"><span>clarification needed</span></a></i>]</sup>

Parsoid output:

<sup class="noprint Inline-Template " style="white-space:nowrap;" about="#mwt21" typeof="mw:Transclusion" data-mw="…" data-parsoid="…"><span typeof="mw:Entity" data-parsoid="…">[</span><i data-parsoid="…"><a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="../Wikipedia:Please_clarify" data-parsoid="…">&lt;span title="test "quotes""&gt;clarification needed</a></i><span typeof="mw:Entity" data-parsoid="…">]</span></sup>
