Yes, Tomohiro's argument is convincing. I ended up making the same
change in GNU libiconv 1.7 (namely, replace U+005C with U+FF3C in the
JIS X 0208 table and replace U+007E with U+FF5E in the JIS X 0212
table) because Japanese people told me it was the only way it made
sense.

The issue is really that because nowadays JIS X 0208 is always
combined with ASCII (be it in EUC-JP or ISO-2022-JP), the original
provision for U+005C in the standard unicode.org JIS X 0208 table is
a nuisance.
