Yes, the fact that the newline is getting eaten is not expected
behavior.  Here's a sample session; you can try to reproduce this with
some real text by cd'ing into /usr/local/mailman and starting python
like so:

% cd /usr/local/mailman
% python
Python 2.3.2 (#1, Oct  3 2003, 08:18:26) 
[GCC 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from Mailman.Utils import wrap
>>> wrap("""\
... blah blah blah
... oops oops oops
... """)
'blah blah blah oops oops oops\n'

What do you get?
