* csv vs json?

I'm downloading a table in csv using pgAdmin. Some tables work just
fine. Others have JSON fields in the table and these aren't. What I
get instead is a string with multiple unquoted double quotes that are,
correctly I think, complained about by my csv reader.
Is there a way to get these quoted properly? Am I doing something
stupid? Is this a bug?

Hi Rich,
It is hard to say what the problem is you encountered and offer any
solution. Can you share the error message you got and example lines from
your csv file?
I only can recommend you to check the document on the link below. CSV
format of file might not match with default settings of PostgreSQL. You can
adjust via parameters, such as delimiter, quote, and escape.
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-copy.html
Best regards.

No error message.
And there was no quoting. That's the bug.

You may wish to report this to the separate pgAdmin project, this list is
for core PostgreSQL but your complaint doesn't seem to be with it.
But I'm suspecting this is more a problem with your expectations rather
than the system producing invalid content. But as you haven't provided a
self-contained example, including output, it is impossible to say
definitely where you are confused, or not, if indeed there is a bug.
You may wish to remove pgAdmin from the equation entirely and use the core
PostgreSQL program psql. It is usually easier to produce a self-contained
script if you don't involve a GUI program into the process flow.
