Sorry, but you didn't miss anything, no such facility exists. The .import command does not handle quoted fields correctly, as has recently been stated on this list. Some third-party tools do it fine but if you want to import your particular file you'll have to tweak your file so that whatever you're using as a separator never appears inside a field.
