It's a bug, although it's one I thought I already fixed.
However, I can't find any evidence of fixing it in PITS 
or in the ChangeLog, so I must not have fixed it yet.  :-(

PmWiki generates the empty paragraph because there's a 
non-blank markup line (the wikistyle) that isn't embedded in 
any other text block.  So, it sees it as normal text and
thinks it's a paragraph and generates the <p>...</p>.

I'm guessing I need a special markup rule to recognize
lines containing nothing but wikistyles and not generate
output for them (although they still need to be processed).

Entered at PITS #00753, I'll see if I can fix it for 2.1.11.
