I’d come up against the same problem, and solved it the same way. I thought it must be a problem in format_to_post() somehow, but that doesn’t appear to actually _do_ anything. Should the addslashes call go there, maybe?
Why are edited posts getting slashes added, but not comments?

Here’s another approach to the same problem.
This isn’t a WP hack—it’s an external perl script that I’m running from cron—but it does auto-update my livejournal with entries from my WP site, and keeps them in synch when comments are added and edits are made:
ljsync.pl

Oh, and I should mention that this patch is against the current (as of 2004.05.07 14:46 PST) CVS, not the beta tarball. It may or may not work for previous versions, it may or may not work for you, standard disclaimers, etc. It works for me.
