I just filed a bug (http://www.python.org/sf/1465014) that
seems to be related to this. Revision 38290 on
Modules/_csv.c includes the addition of this code:

    else if (c == '\n' || c == '\r') {
  	self->state = EAT_CRNL;
  	break;
    }

(and similar). This seems to be eating (deleting) control
chars, but newlines used to be significant. 

Embedded line breaks are allowed, according to RFC 4180
(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4180.txt). And according to the
Wikipedia entry
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values), "a
line break within an element must be preserved."
