The first line break is encoded as 0A (line feed) and the paragraph
return is encoded as OD (CR). The discretionary line break encoding
appears to be non-standard. My hex editor flags them (3 bytes) as "Bytes
are not valid UTF-8".
This may be problematic if you /need/ your mixture of line breaks.
Yes, that's why I was proposing that some other "non-blessed" character
like U+0085 might be able to function as a visible line break that does
not increment the line count.

"Re: Newbie Question on Text Wrap":
Hey Rick,
This funkiness is “normal” for BBEdit, although the behavior is
reversed from the point where BBEdit started using linefeeds
internally instead of carriage returns.
If you unzip the attached AppleScript text file and drop it onto a
blank BBEdit window set for UTF8 and Unix (LF), you'll see the
behavior in action.
This happens because the first line break is a newline character
instead of a carriage return.
The behavior will be different if the first line break is a carriage
return and subsequent text contains one or more linefeeds.
The quick fix is to run “Normalize Line Endings” in the Text menu.
This may be problematic if you /need/ your mixture of line breaks.
I /think/ your success with BBEdit 9.x is /coincidental/ to the first
line break in the text, and I'm curious to know whether it's a LF or a CR.
