Newlines are not preserved correctly when editing meetup descriptions

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Create a new meetup

2. In the description field enter:

"
This is the first line

This is the second line
"

3. Save the meetup.

4. Click "Edit meetup"

5. Look at the description field.

The expected result is that the description field should still contain:

"
This is the first line

This is the second line
"

The actual result is that the description field contains:

"
This is the first line
This is the second line
"

This has the effect of breaking markdown formatting any time you make an edit 
to a meetup post.

OS: Chrome 24.0.1312.70 under Ubuntu (also happens in Windows Chrome).
