Trying to import this CSV in Neo4j 2.2.1 will fail:

LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM
  "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/timmytofu/ba39ae1bf3669bd36ba3/raw/3be7510f487c50b64259bb3e0c1e68ace9f6af69/bad-neo-import.csv"
  AS csv
CREATE (:Foo {fid: toInt(csv.id), thetext: csv.thetext});

At java.io.InputStreamReader@5bb72934:5 there's a field starting with a quote and whereas it ends that quote there seems  to be character in that field after that ending quote. That isn't supported. This is what I read: 'But this
""'

it works on 2.2.0
