Feel free to reopen and convince me why I should do it.

Have you considered just turning warning 18 off?  You can do this on the command line, by editing your chktexrc file, or by suppressing it on a file-by-file basis.

I'm not an expert in babel, but my understanding is that babel make " into an active character, and so it should really be ignored altogether if babel is loaded (not just "=).  So unless you can give me a good reason why only "= should be ignored, I'd rather leave things how they are. 

I have thought about automatically disabling warning 18 if babel is loaded, but I don't like that without some way to turn it back on which would be more work.

chktex should ignore "= (babelshorthand) instead of showing Warning 18 with this text:

Use either `` or '' as an alternative to `"'.

This shorthand command is defined by both babel and polyglossia under certain conditions and is useful for hyphenation of words composited by a dash.
