I'm not sure there's a one-pass regex solution to the problem
using Python's regex engine. If pre-processing was allowed, one
could do it.

well, one can do
>>> [line + '\n' for line in ss.splitlines()]
['owi\n', 'eoifj\n', 'heu\n']
>>> [line + '\n' for line in (ss+'xxx').splitlines()]
['owi\n', 'eoifj\n', 'heu\n', 'xxx\n']
as another try for your edge case. It's understandable and
natural-looking
