As Tim told:

   "So, from the perspective of standard LaTeX classes, any instance of \\ in
    the \author{} command should not be converted during export."

I wanted to express that there are certainly more cases where you want the
backslashes in the AUTHOR and TITLE meta-tags to be passed as is, than
converted to their LaTeX equivalent.

But, your question makes sense: what if one really wants a backslash in the
author list or in the title...

Problem stays for the authors as it seems that \newline is not good for the
standard article class...
