You were right and I was wrong.  I thought it was a problem with
o-e-p-s, but it turns out to be a problem with org-generic-export's
line-by-line processing.  Sorry about the red herring.  I have a fix to
org-generic-export that will handle this.

I am working on a wiki format (tikiwiki: tikiwiki.org) where the
processor decides that any line breaks indicate intent to preformat on
the part of the user.  It's turning out to be quite difficult to
harmonize this with line-by-line processing a la org-generic-export.
