There is nothing wrong with your file, I just forgot to add it.

Try the following patch, I will release a new version ASAP. Please give
me a feedback if this did work.

\unprotect

\startsetups[letter:backaddress]
\def\\{\lettervalue{\c!backaddress\c!separator}}
\doifelselettervalue\v!backaddress
 {\lettervalue\v!backaddress}
 {\lettervalue\c!fromname
  \doiflettervalue\c!fromaddress\\
  \lettervalue\c!fromaddress}
\stopsetups

\protect

Regards,
Wolfgang
