Comment (by brutalenemy666):

 '''Reason'''

 The gaps, spaces and tabs before closing block tags are converted into
 empty paragraphs.

 `wpautop`, however, removes the opening `<p>` tag and leaves the closing
 `</p>`.

 '''Possible Solution'''

 I am removing the empty paragraphs followed by any closing block element,
 before removing the opening and closing paragraph tags separatedly.

 '''Code to test with'''

 {{{#!php
 ob_start();
 ?>
 <div><div>correct</div></div>

 <div>
     <div>correct</div>
 </div>

 <div>
     <div>incorrect</div>
     </div>
 <?php
 $content = ob_get_clean();
 print_r( wpautop($content) ); exit;
 }}}
