In other words, a blank line is added automatically at the end of every chapter, the effect of which is to (sometimes) push the last line onto the next page.
I don't think it is just this. I've seen this happen when the chapter finished halfway down the page.

Some publishers also add their own code to do the same thing, sometimes by adding a blank paragraph at the end of a chapter. In some cases this can combine with the stylesheet to push more than one line to the next page.
If I edit a book, I always remove those. But, I can't see why an empty paragraph after the last line of text would do this. It could cause an extra empty page to appear, but it shouldn't have an affect on the previous paragraph.
