writePoints not working when a tag value includes "\"

[SimonX200]

Expected Behavior

The tag is stored with its value including the "\"

Actual Behavior

Influx rejects the write request with:

RequestError: A 400 Bad Request error occurred: {"error":"unable to parse 'abc,m=a\\ v=1': invalid tag format"}

Steps/Code to Reproduce the Problem

const influx = require('influx')

const db=new influx.InfluxDB({ database:'abc'});

async function x() {
        let x;
        x=await db.query("create database abc");
        const points = [{ tags: { m: "a\\" }, fields: { v:1 }, measurement:'abc'}];
        x=await db.writePoints(points, {database:'abc'});
        console.log('i1= ', x);
}


x();

With the influx CLI it works if there is an extra space after \
But both the \ and space are then stored

insert abc,a=aa\  x=1

It fails in the influx CLI without the extra space:

insert abc,a=aa\ x=1
ERR: {"error":"unable to parse 'abc,a=aa\\ x=1': invalid tag format"}

The difference is an extra blank between \ and the
