They must have fixed something, because in our Confluence wiki:

  \\ -> new line
  \\\\ -> \\\\
  \\Foo -> Foo
  \\Foo\Bar -> \\Foo\Bar

Somewhat errant result for \\Foo, but the other ones seem to work.

The \\Foo\ example I gave was poorly chosen, because they put in a kluge fix so that anything that resembles a Windows file path will pass through unparsed. You cannot use \\ in any other circumstance, which is why \\Foo failed.
