Follow-up Comment #2:
I believe you have misunderstood how the -d option works. If you use "xargs
-d '<SPACE>'" then newline is not a separator. The "extra" newline is simply
the last character in the last argument.
This example may make this clearer for you:
$ printf "foo bar\nbaz ugh quux\n" | ./xargs -n1 -d ' ' echo X
X foo
X bar
baz
X ugh
X quux
$ echo "foo bar" | tr -d '\n' | ./xargs -n1 -d ' ' echo ZZZ
ZZZ foo
ZZZ bar
