Which version of core-utils are you using? I can't reproduce it here.
Could it be that there are whitespaces in the "blank" lines?

Example:

address@hidden:~> cat -b fooo      






     1    

     2  dfsdfs



address@hidden:~> 

The line numbered with "1" looks blank but has one whitespace at the
beginning so it's not blank...
