In the generated LaTeX adding a '\relax' (so each line ends with
'\\\relax') would be a another solution. The \relax ends the
macro-expansion and thus '\\' does not look further for optional
arguments.

As the org-table does not support all the fancy features of LaTeX
tables and the LaTeX row/line break is generated implicitly, I would
say the LaTeX export should always emit the additional \relax.
