Accepted, apparently the problem exists.

This can be fixed by replacing line 205 in output.py from

allBrs = self.soup.findAll(recursive=True, name = ["br", "hr", 'div'])

to

allBrs = self.soup.findAll(recursive=True, name = ["br", 'div'])

Specifying hr as a self closing tag doesn't hurt either.

To make both incoming <br> and <br /> work, it needed to be changed as 
wizmasteromega pointed out and specified as a self closing tag when creating 
the BeautifulStoneSoup object.
