It is currently possible to insert newlines into a programlisting or
literallayout element, we do that all the time here at XMLmind.
The problem comes from the fact that your users insert programlisting or
literallayout elements *inside* paras, which even if allowed by the DTD,
is a bad habit.
If instead, they inserted programlisting or literallayout elements
before or after paras, you wouldn't have noticed any problem.
Of course, this regression will be fixed in V2.6p1.
It is also very easy to fix yourself if you want. In
XXE_install_dir/config/docbook/common.incl, replace:

<macro trace="false">
<choice>
<sequence>
<command name="selectNode"
parameter="ancestorOrSelf[implicitElement] simpara para" />
<command name="split" />
</sequence>
<command name="insertControlChar" parameter="\n" />
</choice>
</macro>
</command>
