So from reading the bug report and the linked msdn page, it seems that
a closer implementation of
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776391(VS.85).aspx> would
work for you, ie 

>> n backslashes not followed by a quotation mark simply produce n
>> backslashes.

or is something more needed?

If we're clear on what's needed it does not seem like it should be very
hard to fix.
