PDF+LaTeX incorrectly replaces \\ (two backslashes) by a newline

I have an SVG file which contains text like such, the important part being the double backslash:

$\sboundary f =
\left[\begin{array}{c}
\gamma_1 = [ (e^\circ, \top) ] \\
\gamma_2 = [ (e^\circ, \top) ]
\end{array}\right]$

Using Inkscape 0.91 r13725, on Kubuntu 16.04 64bits, PDF+LaTeX converts the text to the following, that is, replaces the double backslashes by a newline!

    \put(0.50170692,0.32122315){\color[rgb]{0,0,0}\makebox(0,0)[b]{\smash{$\sboundary f =
  \left[\begin{array}{c}
  \gamma_1 = [ (e^\circ, \top) ]

  \gamma_2 = [ (e^\circ, \top) ]
  \end{array}\right]$}}}%

Which makes LaTeX crash with the error:

Runaway argument?
{$\sboundary f = \left [\begin {array}{c} \gamma _1 = [ (e^\circ , \top \ETC.
! Paragraph ended before \makesm@sh was complete.
<to be read again>
                   \par
l.64 \end{array}\right]$}}}
                             %

I do need the backslashes so that the array environment knows where the next row starts. It seems Inkscape is trying to be too smart. In a previous version of Inkscape (sorry, I don't know which), this text used to be correctly exported as the following:

    \put(0.50170692,0.32122315){\color[rgb]{0,0,0}\makebox(0,0)[b]{\smash{$\sboundary f =
\left[\begin{array}{c}
\gamma_1 = [ (e^\circ, \top) ] \\
\gamma_2 = [ (e^\circ, \top) ]
\end{array}\right]$}}}%
