That's exactly that. I even added the following comment in
`org-element-line-break-successor':

  ;; A line break can only happen on a non-empty line.

I'm not sure why, though. It may have to do with the fact that there is
no easy way to escape backslashes in Org (AFAIK).

I think we can remove this rule if we first add a "bslash" (or some
other name) entity in `org-entities'.
