Nope, it doesn't :-(  Anyway, looking for newlines was my intention,
sorry for the misleading nomenclature.  But I guess that is irrelevant
as neither variant works.

Try this:

  rawbody  __LOCAL_MUCHO_BLANKS /\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n/m

The repetition operator might not work properly on newlines in a multiline match, and the above worked in a quick test here.
