Adding \relax is my fault, I did not expect that it may break \hline.
Such behavior should be stable over decades. The question is how to
allow users to have square brackets in the beginning of the line
following \\ and not break some use case.

Sorry, I did not get your point with trailing space. LaTeX ignores
spaces after commands (e.g. "a\relax b" becomes "ab") and in the
beginning of the line. What I am afraid of is unintentionally introduce
white space at the beginning of the line, e.g. if
| a |
| b |
|---|
is exported as
{} a \\
{} b \\
\hline
then cell contents will be " a" and " b", not "a" and "b".
\relax a \\
\relax b \\
\hline
has no such problem.
