Don't know... it looks like a weird optimization applied for a small screen: Eliminate all lines with no printable characters....

On the other hand, as mentioned elsewhere, you can get the same effect with CSS by defining a first-paragraph-in-section which has a top margin of appropriate size, or a last-paragraph-in-section with a bottom margin. I haven't tried either, so I don't know if will do exactly what you want, but generally layout should be done with css rather than relying on specific things in the text itself.

Oops! This is the mobi forum! That only works if Kindlegen lets it work and you happen to be starting with epub.
