That should resolve the issue for LLVM with no changes to CMake.

However, CMake should also be taught to escape the backslashes correctly
when generating the export files.  Take a look at

 Source/cmExportFileGenerator.cxx
 Source/cmExportBuildFileGenerator.cxx
 Source/cmExportInstallFileGenerator.cxx

in the CMake source tree.  There are several places that just generate
double quotes around a raw value that should instead use EscapeForCMake.
