I have observed this also, and it appears to be a Frescobaldi problem. I 
loaded an ly file with a version number of 2.19.11 into Frescobaldi, and 
then ran command-line convert-ly against it. Frescobaldi prompted me to 
reload the file as it had been modified outside Frescobaldi, and when I 
reloaded it, the file remained with all spacing identical - the version 
number had been updated to 2.19.16.

I then reverted to the original version of the file from backup, opened 
the file in Frescobaldi, ran convert-ly from the Tools menu, and an 
additional blank line was inserted between each existing line. Looking 
at the file with a hex editor showed that an additional LF (control char 
0A) had been added after each existing LF in the file.
