Ok it seems to be the case as you've said.

I couldn't export to anything except csv, but managed to email the contact 
which effectively exported it as csv, excellent. This confirms that the problem 
is likely not with akonadi and rather with kaddressbook.

$ cat Downloads/Lastname\,\ Firstname.vcf 
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
FN:Lastname\, Firstname
N:Lastname;Firstname;;;
EMAIL;TYPE=internet:firstname at lastname.org
NOTE:This is line one of the notes section\NThis is line two of the notes 
section\NThis is line three of the notes section\NThis is line four of the 
notes section

END:VCARD

Thanks very much Kevin for the useful feedback! I'll update the bug at 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=297541 with the details.
