I am checking a translation that uses a single quotation mark (U2019, ’) word-medially. This character is listed as word-medial
punctuation in the language settings.
Now the same character is used as a closing quotation mark in embedded quotes. As a consequence, when running the Quotations check, Paratext flags all word-medial instances of ’ as errors: “Closing quote found without matching openings”.
Is there some way to prevent this, other than using a different character for the word-medial quotation mark?

No, you should always use unique characters for quotation marks. These should be different from mid word characters.

The Unicode character that gives you a word-forming “apostrophe” is U+02BC.
