Comment:

 I understand that you want to insert custom HTML like this, but
 `wpautop()` is intended to be opinionated about how HTML is formatted: it
 deliberately interprets two consecutive `<br/>` tags as a paragraph break.

 The workarounds above are both correct. You can automate the latter by
 hooking into the `the_content` filter before `wpautop()` runs:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 add_action( 'the_content' function( $content ) {
         return preg_replace( '|(<br\s*/?>\s*)(<br\s*/?>)|', '$1<!-- keep
 these line breaks -->$2', $pee );
 }, 9 );
 }}}
