Comment (by oeconomist):

 Okay, yes.  Now two work-arounds have been provided (as well as a direct
 look at the code).  But they are just work-arounds, not patches of the
 bug.

 It is one thing for the code to recognize that most users don't know or
 don't want to be bothered with mark-up, and therefore to interpret
 newlines as paragraph closures; it's another for the code to infer that a
 user didn't intend the mark-up that he or she entered.  And, because
 breaks are inline elements, this conversion can break mark-up in ways that
 are mysterious to many users.
