Once I found that post [1], I saw what you meant.  Line breaks are
indeed being dropped by Google's HTML production; in the original
format there's a line break there.

I made a test post [2] through Google to probe the problem a bit.
(Curiously, the "original format" of the test post is not quite
what I'd thought I'd typed into their form; there are one or two
additional leading spaces, and one or two missing.)  Unfortunately
I forgot to check whether having a non-'>' before the >>> would
help.

Time to file a bug report with Google, methinks.
