--export says

      -x, --export
           Print output as key/value pairs. Values are enclosed in
single quotes. This takes effects only when --query=property or
--device-id-of-file=FILE is
           specified.

It doesn't claim that this is a shell parseable format which can be run
through eval, so I don't think you can rely on that.
