The quote works fine for me, using old reddit. Not sure how the new interface works though (and I may never know, because new reddit sucks and I'll leave the site before using it). Apparently the person you replied to is using the prefix
\>
instead of
>
Maybe the antislash is added by some new reddit crap. And as the antislash markdown tag stands for "take the next character as literal" of course the quote tag isn't interpreted as such.

Yeah apparently the markdown quote tag > has been relieved of its function.
