When I use calibre (0.6.19 currently) to convert to an epub or lrf file, I also create a "book jacket" from the metadata. In the book jacket comment section, my end of paragraph returns and blank line are turned into code. i.e.

Little Women is the story of the four March sisters--Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy--in a family that has been loved by readers young and old for generations. <br/><br/>Whether they are putting on plays, forming the Pickwick Club, or entertaining Laurie, the lonely boy next door, the sisters and their mother play and work together to maintain an interesting and fun household while their father is away at war.

instead of what is in the metadata comments

I have not noticed any problems with returns & blank lines in the converted book file, only the book jacket. I have probably checked too many choices in my conversions, but the book file end result is usually fine with the only problem being the book jacket. When I convert, I have checked - remove spacing, insert blank line, no text just, linearize tables, insert metadata as page. I am usually converting from mobi/prc or odt to epub/lrf.

How do I fix?
thanks
The above problem is now fixed.

Kovid for adding support for HTML markup in the Book Jacket (metadata insert page).
