It's collapsing newlines. In the Rails demo I hit enter twice to skip a line, but it only took one to get me down two lines, and the second was an 'error'.

Edit: It appears that this is part of the "auto-indent" mechanism (which is intuitive for indentation). How about accepting multiple newlines, or whitespace at the beginning of a line, but not requiring it?
