Comment (by joedolson):

 1) The state management in the media modal is persistent as long as you're
 in the same session. If you reload the screen, however, it'll show you the
 saved version. It's only persistent locally; that version is never saved.

 2) It won't be shown elsewhere with line breaks, as it's never been saved
 that way.

 3) Line breaks need to be stripped out for backwards compatibility,
 because historically this field was used for image title attributes and
 there are still themes and plugins out there that expect this. I don't
 think we should change the structure of the data, particularly given that
 it's usually not front-end facing content. I don't see any reason to
 change the limits on length; it's stored the same way as any post title,
 and has the same limits. (65,535 characters).
