Hmm. We actually have a similar scenario in `org-export--prune-tree'
with a slightly different logic - only keep spaces when previous object
does not have any.
I like this idea. At first I even believed that backend-specific code
would not be necessary.
I do not think that we need to handle this Org mode-wide (it will be
difficult and will likely cause breaking changes).
I have not figured out why it may become a breaking changes and what
backends need blank lines inside paragraph. I would make stripping empty
lines default behavior with some option to disable this feature.
See the attached tentative fix.
Since zero width spaces are part of Org syntax, they need special treatment.

Notice visible space character disappeared after "bold". I am leaving up
to you to decide if empty line appeared due to a macro is a bug or a
feature. If I remember it correctly, your opinion is that a macro
expanding to multiple paragraphs is a valid one.
