Bastien,

Thanks for the summary. There is still one problem, I think, with #+AUTHOR:

  \author{one \\ two}

and

  \author{one \linebreak two}

behave differently (the \linebreak has no effect), so if one wants the
first behavior, the exporter's penchant to change \\ to
\\textbackslash{} will not allow it. I'm not sure why \title and \author
behave differently: I guess it's because \author is expanded inside a
\tabular, whereas \title is not.

Thanks,
Nick
