I am not totally sure I am understanding this. My impression is that with a CCBY, the new version appears under the name of the new author, with a link back to the original text and attribution to that original author. If they edited or changed it, that would be a derivative, and not your text any longer, so shouldn’t it be under their name, with you only getting credit for the original text that it is linked to? It doesn’t fully solve the problem you’re talking about, but I just want to see if I am following? I think republishing your work exactly as is would allow them to credit you as the author, but modifying it should make it a derivative (allowable under CCBY by not ND) and should free you up– at least technically–from getting blamed for what emerges from their shoddy edits. Seems like they made a derivative by changing how the quotes were handled, and then they just slapped your name on it– seems like a license foul to me… Interesting nuances…
