Comment (by nerrad):

 So ya I see:

 {{{
 // We don't need to autop posts with blocks in them.
 if ( has_blocks( $pee ) ) {
     return $pee;
 }
 }}}

 Howwever `wpautop` is hooked into `the_content` on priority 10, and
 `do_blocks` is hooked in on priority 9.  So that means the blocks have
 been parsed and the block serialized comments removed before hitting
 `wpautop`.  Thus the `has_blocks` check here is never going to be true.

 The implementation in core differs from what was in the gutenberg plugin
 because `wpautop` was re-registered running at priority 6 ''before'' the
 blocks were parsed from content.

 So the quick fix here is to just have `wpautop` run before block parsing.
 In the attached patch I've set the priority of wpautop to 8 so it runs
 just before `do_blocks` which is at priority 9.  I've verified this
 resolves the issue reported in this ticket but I'm not sure if there are
 other side-effects to having wpautop run at a lower priority.
