I get "Eager macro-expansion failure: (error "rx ‘not’ syntax error: (or
10 32)")" even in response to M-x eval-buffer.

You may check whether csv-mode have got support of newline inside cell
already and try to sell your parser to them.
There are regular discussions how wonderful it would be to extend org
table syntax. In my opinion org spreadsheet is overloaded already. On
the other hand, newline in table cell sometimes is really useful. I have
seen an idea to put some macro to single-line cell that expands to
format-specific representation during export ({{{nl}}} => <br> in the
case of HTML). Such macro does not require extension of syntax, so it
may be viable at least in user configuration.
