Description
Reported by @dougedmunds in NetLogo/NetLogo#845. That bug has a more extensive example, but the following is sufficient to reproduce:
csv:from-row "\"\\\" \\\"\""
That is, attempting to parse the string "\" \"" results in:
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.IOException: (line 1) invalid char between encapsulated token and delimiter

Start by reproducing the failure with the csv:from-row example in the issue, then trace the CSV parsing path that produces the invalid-char RuntimeException. Done means the quoted string containing backslashes parses successfully without throwing, while existing CSV behavior remains intact.
