According to the standard, 

"If double-quotes are used to enclose fields, then a double-quote
appearing inside a field must be escaped by preceding it with
another double quote."

See: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180

OOo does properly support the standard and import a double quote escaped by a
double quote. I recommend that the reporter use a script or macro to transform
the input to a valid CSV file before import.

Strictly speaking, A backslash is wrong. The requester, however, is asking that
OOo be modified to support a method that used to be common. I cannot comment on
whether or not this was ever standard, just common. I would be inclined to call
this an enhancement request, not a defect report. 

Test by pasting this into a Calc document:

"aaa","b""bb","ccc"
"aaa","b\"bb","ccc"
