Comment (by Matthias Reuter):

 Seems to be a classical wpautop case. When inserting structured HTML into
 a post, linebreaks will be converted to <br> or <p> through wpautop.

 There are plugins available to disable wpautop on certain posts:
 https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/toggle-wpautop/

 This will require users to decide whether to:

 * disable wpautop when linebreak-formatted HTML is used. If you have a big
 site, you may insert many <p>-Tags and/or <br /> tags manually for
 formatting text.
 * keep wpautop enabled, but write all HTML in line.

 This occurs too with linebreak-formatted div-tags etc.

 I don't think this is a bug, as wpautop just does it's job and you should
 disable it when you work with complex HTML in your Post.
