In PRE elements, newlines that appear inside inline elements (CODE/STRONG/etc.) are converted to spaces in the editor. The loss occurs when the content is being pulled from the TEXTAREA.

The Fiddle has a pretty clear demonstration.

I started to see this behavior some months ago after a WordPress upgrade. It's possible that WP was formerly converting all newlines to BRs before passing the content to TinyMCE, but it seems like a TinyMCE bug nonetheless.

Fixing tinyMCE is beyond me, but I did find a workaround: add a onBeforeSetContent handler that converts newlines to BR inside PREs.
