David,

The implication of that is that GnuCash doesn’t treat `\` as an escape character. It does. See
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795666, https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799529,	and https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799774 (Tom Teixeira’s bug) all of which are variations on that theme. See also https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/f3c053fbee8c290d0fd111b125a4a52b03de862e/gnucash/import-export/csv-imp/gnc-tokenizer-csv.cpp#L51:ff which implements the escaping.
