I don't think this is true. My old memory says the length is 180 deg.

There is a diagram in Low Band DXing that shows the phase shift
through a quarter wave of RG-213 with different terminations.
When terminated in 50 Ohms with no reactance the phase shift is
indeed 90 degrees. When terminated with 21+j20 Ohms, the phase
shift is approx 110 degrees, and when terminated with 51+j20,
the phase shift is approx 45 degrees! These values are what one
might see at the bases of a two element vertical array spaced
90 degrees.

73, Roger
