Last week I posted an archive to this list.
It contains a package that fixes this kind of thing:

   \usepackage{utf8accents}

The problem is this use of OT1 encoding here.
This arises because the accent command \` by default does not know
anything about U-encoded fonts, which you are using for Garamond.

My package fixes this for all the accents, and for many other common
LaTeX macros that access non-alphabetic characters.
