Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 This has to do with different line endings on Windows and Unix.

 !WordPress has [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.0.5/wp-
 admin/includes/schema.php#L682 multiple line strings] too, which are
 perfectly valid unless using TortoiseSVN checkout under Windows.

 The suggestion in the ticket would make the strings extremely hard to read
 and translate.

 It's actually a [http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52671 gettext bug] and
 should be treated on a more general level, perhaps in !WordPress itself.
