Yup, I agree that it is an inconvenience since using tab as a separator
works. I thought I should at least mention it here. Future readers will
see that it hasn't gone un-noticed and that it is a known issue with a
solution or work around.

However, what's not clear to me is why is there an option of the comma
separators at all since it is bound to create problems in author fields
at least if not in others.

You chose "{}". How do you select your own separator? I only have the
commas and tabs as two options.
