dblatex fails to escape backslashes

Hello list.

I'm trying to compile ghc 6.12.1, but the documentation part fails because
dblatex can't escape all the backslashes that it should.  (I've tried
dblatex-2.10, -2.11 and -2.12.)

A similar problem has been discussed earlier [1], but even with Christiaan's
suggested solution it  fails at Cabal:

"/home/thanos/local/bin/dblatex"  libraries/Cabal/doc/Cabal.xml --ps
-o libraries/Cabal/doc/Cabal.ps

Unexpected error occured

What version of dblatex and what tweeks have you people used to actually build
the documentation successfully?

(Please note, that the error is not breaking the process of make.
make continues it's job ignoring this error.)
