Well... Yes there is. 1. yep; 2. it isn't; 3. should it be broken? ;-)

I think that quickbook parses the line-endings nicely. The problem is 
that it currently outputs mixed line-endings. One place where I noticed 
this problem is inside code blocks: EOLs in code blocks come out as they 
come in, while in other places most get replaced with a single '\n'.

A workaround is to convert qbk source files to use exclusively '\n' line 
endings... but of course the proper place to fix this once and for all 
is in quickbook.

I'll have a go at it later, if no one beats me to it.
