New description:

 Applying wpautop() breaks multi-line content of textarea element because
 it replaces each newline with `<br />`. A textarea can't have HTML in its
 content.

 You can reproduce the problem with the following code:


 {{{
 $text = '<textarea name="test">
 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
 consectetur adipisicing elit,
 sed do eiusmod tempor
 incididunt ut labore
 et dolore magna aliqua.</textarea>';

 echo wpautop( $text );
 }}}

Comment:

 4.3 and 4.2 both failed the attached tests.  I am correcting the ticket,
 including the description to reflect the fact that a newline is required
 after any textarea element.  Omitting the newline causes browsers to strip
 leading whitespace.
