I'm guessing as a result of Unicode processing for "LINE SEPARATOR" (which
isn't an end of line character, but a separator between lines; I'm guessing
that one needn't be present at the end of all lines).

Correct, XML only refers to end of line sequences (ref XML 1.0 Sect 2.11).

It isn't a bug in XEP because the XSL-FO spec specifically refers to
linefeed-treatment= addressing the U+000A character and no other character.
(ref XSL 7.15.7).
This would be an issue you would want to bring "up a level" to the
specification writers, not the implementers. Use mailto:xsl-editors@w3.org
to send your XSL processing requirements to the specification writers
because if you don't they won't know what to consider in future versions to
address what you need from the Specification.
