So you think that just editing the page causes the lines to reappear? If I had to take a guess as to why, I'd probably say that it's a small difference between the source and visual editor. Maybe when you do it in source, the way source works tells it to not put spaces; then when someone comes along in visual, it works a bit differently so the wiki thinks "Oh, there should be blank lines here. I'll put them in." and then when you publish, the blank lines get published as well.

I have no idea how close this is to what the actual problem is, but that's my theory.
