I'm not sure, but it looks like a bug -- the NL is confusing and
readability is gone.  see also Tim's post ...

And to make it work within a script, a different notation is required:
   :exec "g/abc/insert\\\nLine1\\\nLine2"

Anyway:
:insert is an old Vi thing -- as help states, it can also confuse :if
statements etc, so I'd only use it in very "simple" situations.
