It doesn't happen in standard PmWiki, see

I think the problem is in your custom stylesheet at 
http://otterprojectonline.info/pmwiki/pub/css/markup.css ,
which says:

        dd { margin-bottom: 0.5em }

(i.e., places where one jumps more than one level of nested item),
so that CSS rule is adding 0.5em of space after the --> lines.
