I have no idea if "other\n\"string\"\nlines" may be passed 
`org-babel-read', but it is not discarded by the current regexp:
"^[[:space:]]*\"\\(.*\\)\"[[:space:]]*$"

Is there a reason why it is necessary to call `read' twice on the same 
content? From my point of view, result of first call may be returned.
Does `read' have other role than unescaping backslash-protected 
characters? Likely it can be done by `replace-regexp-in-string', see the 
attachment. I have tried regexp on the following string:
   (let ((cases '(("" . nil)
               ("\"" . nil)
               ("\"\"" . t)
               ("\"\\\"" . nil)
               ("\"\\\\\"" . t)
               ("a" . nil)
               ("\"a\"" . t)
               ("\\\"a\\\"" . nil)
               ("\\\"a\\\\\"" . nil)
               ("\"a\\\"\"" . t)
               ("\"aa\\\"bb\"" . t)
               (" \"aa( bb\"" . t))))
