Comment(by demetris):

 Thanks for the reply, dwright.

 So, in your tests, importing does not affect strings of spaces before
 EOLs.

 While in my tests those strings of spaces are completely removed.  (I also
 verified the issue by looking at the post_content in the DB entry.)

 The only difference of environments I can think of is the Visual Editor,
 which I always disable in my user settings.  But should this have any
 effect on the process of importing?

 I attach a visual explanation of what happens whenever I import, and why
 this is a problem when you Markdown is used.
