I did some pdb tracing through the click source and figured out the problem.

TL;DR: Your workaround provided the essential clue. The main difference between the original code and your workaround is that the latter omits the embedded newlines. Click apparently dedents the text but doesn't remove the newlines and that confuses click's formatting code.
In the meantime, I have a workaround that I'm in the process of implementing.
