I'd call it a SpamAssassin bug.  I don't think any of the multi-line 
rules rely on newlines remaining exactly the same.  One newline is 
generally considered equal to any number of consecutive ones.

SA should crush the input by stripping every blank line after the first 
two in a group (in other words, if it finds more than 3 consecutive 
newlines, it should delete newlines 4 to N).  This would solve the 
problem, and shouldn't change any rule hits.
