iirc, the detail I fixed was where the parser ate newlines.
For the cases I was viewing (one of the ones you referred to),
the pretty-source picture had all of the newlines rendered properly.

Since I'd not put out a patch since November, I thought it would be
better to get one out than spend another 5-6 months fixing everything...

Perhaps it was addressing the next row in the cache for the "working" 
case, and that happened to look ok.  Someone commented recently that the 
cache logic assumes only one hit per cell.
