I've not seen 2) personally, I'm a bit OCD on punctuation so I think I would have noticed it. But I don't read everything
Coincidentally more recent discussion on continued speech from this post forward ==>>

From what Hitch has posted there I get the impression that some contemporary authors use
"Some speech..."
"Some more speech by same person..."
"Last bit of speech by same person."
And from what Toxaris says that is common in Dutch.
