With i( Vim knows that the ( has to be before the cursor and ) after it.
With i" there is no such criterion, especially in languages where line
breaks are legal inside a string. So Vim looks for the nearest (or, with
a count, nth-nearest) quote on either side of the cursor.
Like Tim said (or implied), t'ain't a bug, it's a feature.

"You are old, father William," the young man said,
"And your hair has become very white;
And yet you incessantly stand on your head --
Do you think, at your age, it is right?"
"In my youth," father William replied to his son,
"I feared it might injure the brain;
But, now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,
Why, I do it again and again."
