Comment:

 I can't believe this got no traction - I use plugins that conscientiously
 mark where their added content begins and ends using HTML comments, and
 those comments are adding empty paragraphs in my posts, which in some
 cases affect layout and undermine the aesthetics of the page.

 This issue affects anyone who uses plugins that modify the text of the
 blog post, e.g., SexyBookmarks.

 I'll look at what it would take to patch it, but someone who knows how and
 where the unwanted behavior is occurring could do it in a fraction of the
 time.
