Of course it does. Drawers contains paragraphs, not the opposite way.

To convince yourself, you could put point at the beginning of the first
paragraph and evaluate 

  (goto-char (org-element-property :end (org-element-at-point)))

Again, you are confused because LaTeX treats blank lines specially. The
"latex" back-end preserves blank lines from the original file. So in
this case, the absence of blank lines makes it think there is a single
paragraph. However, it wasn't the case in the source document.
