Comment (by GunGeekATX):

 Ran into this problem today, though it was my code at first, but found
 this ticket.  WordPress 4.9.8 and Gutenberg 4.1.1. I created a dynamic
 block using only a title.


 {{{
 $ ./bin/wp.sh post get 75846 --field=post_content
 <!-- wp:paragraph -->
 <p><del>This is a paragraph.</del></p>
 <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

 <!-- wp:client/custom-block {"title":"This is the title"} /-->

 <!-- wp:paragraph -->
 <p></p>
 <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
 }}}

 When I view source on the page:
 {{{
 <!-- wp:paragraph -->
 <p><del>This is a paragraph.</del></p>
 <!-- /wp:paragraph -->



 <!-- wp:paragraph -->
 <p></p>
 <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
 }}}

 Changing the priority of the {{{do_blocks}}} call from 7 to 5 in the
 Gutenberg plugin fixes it. My assumption is autop is running before
 Gutenberg and stripping out the dynamic block.
